Todd (nolemmings)Hey Scott,
The card was printed in 1934--it even looks like a '34 Goudey wo/the "Lou Gehrig/Chuck Klein says" message.
As I understand it, the set collectors in 1933 were wondering where card #106 was, so Goudey printed it a year later and, apparently so there was no confusion to collectors of the '34 set and packs, made it available only to those who sent in asking for it.
I always wondered how hard it would have been to recreate the 1933 design for the card, so it wouldn't stick out so much to someone displaying their '33 set. Seems now that's a very minor nuisance in the scheme of things, as most everyone would like to have that problem.
Regards............Todd
