Card #s 97, 98, 99, 128, 129, and 142 were not available until the next to last Series
of the '33 Goudeys were issued. This Series (48 cards) numbering from #190 - 231
and including the above listed 6 lower #s was the first group of Goudeys in this set
to omit the "Big League Chewing Gum" strip at the bottom front of each card.
The final Series of 24 cards (known as the 1933 World Series sheet) include low
numbers (#107 - 114 and #121 - 127) along with cards #232 - 240. These 24 cards
were issued in November (or early Dec.) of 1933 and the information on their backs
reflect the player's performance in the 1933 W.S. between the Giants and Washington.
If you do the math....you will see that there are 21 cards. And, the 22nd card of course
is Lajoie (#106) that was not issued until the Hi# Series of 1934 Goudeys were available.
