Someone will post below saying the low condition ones are overpriced.


I've seen lots of 33 Goudeys, I remember years ago some dealers would just have a stack or two of them on a table, no holders, just a stack of cards. All of the cards would be worn. Very worn. They looked like a kid had kept them in their back pocket for a few years. The cards didn't hold up well, I think, something to do with the sandwich design of the Goudey card, they have multiple layers of different types of paper. With Bengough on the top of the pile, he'd 'catch' lots of wear. And I think some of the Bengough cards were literally worn to pieces. I think there are fewer Bengough cards out there than other players, because of this.

And... it is a fairly good looking card, don't you think?
