John H."To me '33 Goudey symbolizes the birth of the Yankee dynasty..."
The Yankees won the World Series in 1923, 27, 28 and 32 and lost it in 21, 22 and 26. Babe Ruth was in his second last season with NY in 1933 and they didn't win or play in another WS until 1936. '33 Goudey is a landmark set for many reasons but the Yankee dynasty was beginning a bit of a lull and a changing of the guard that year.
I think that completing any one of the T206, '33 Goudey or '52 Topps sets would be a tremendous accomplishment for any collector. Personally, I like the '52 set the most of the three but I think '56 Topps is an absolutely gorgeous set. I also like '57-'60 and '63-'65 a lot.
