Default Question about 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig Cards

Posted By: Josh Adams

I have been thinking about this for a while. Gehrig, like many others in the '33 Goudey set, have more than one card, i.e. Ruth (4), Ott (2), Critz (2), Hubbell (2) come to mind. I understand the reasons for duplicates at the end of the set.

My question is, how come Gehrig's two cards, #92 and #160, are the exact same image? Ruth has 4 different depictions, as does Ott, Critz, Hubbell and several others. What is the reason for this? Did the artist just get tired, and figured, what the hey, I'll just use Gehrig's batting stance twice?!

At any rate, this question has been on my mind for a while, just thought I'd ask.

Thanks,

Josh
