Some of the full body poses in the 1933 Goudey set just feel like summertime...here is Al Simmons playing our game.

1933 Goudey #153: Buddy Myer
 

Charles S. "Buddy" Myer. Second baseman with the Washington Senators in 1925-1927 and 1929-1941. 2,131 hits and 38 home runs in 17 MLB seaons. He had a career OBP of .389. 2-time All-Star. 1935 AL Batting champion. 1928 AL Stolen Base leader. His best season was 1935 for Washington as he posted a .440 OBP with 115 runs scored and 100 RBI's in 719 plate appearances. He was involved in one of baseball's most violent brawls when he was spiked and possibly racially derided by the Yankees' Ben Chapman.

Myer's SABR biography: Buddy Myer was the “cocky little second baseman” of the Washington Senators when they won their last American League pennant in 1933. In 17 seasons in the majors, he won a batting title and was a two-time All-Star. Myer was often cited as one of the few Jewish baseball stars and was chosen for the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, but he was a member of the Baptist church. . . .

. . . Early in the 1933 season, the Yankees’ Ben Chapman took him out with a hard slide, slicing open his shoe and cutting his foot. Myer kicked Chapman and Chapman fought back. Both men were ejected, but as Chapman passed through the Senators dugout on his way to the visitors’ clubhouse, he slugged Washington pitcher Earl Whitehill, igniting a near-riot that was remembered for years. The Senators swarmed Chapman, the Yankees charged across the field to his rescue, and angry fans joined the festivities. Police broke it up and arrested five civilians. Chapman, Myer, and Whitehill were suspended for five days and fined $100 each. (Chapman was traded to the Senators three years later. When he joined the team on the road, he walked into the hotel dining room and sat down beside Myer. They were soon talking and laughing together.)

The Pete Jablonowski card in my set has the official Copyright stamp on the back of his card. You seldom see 1933 Goudey's
with their Copyright stamp. If you happen to have any of them, feel free to post them here.

1933 Goudey #169: Tommy Thomas
 

I don't have any copyright stamps, but there are plenty of Washington players in the set:

Alphonse "Tommy" Thomas. Pitcher for the Washington Senators in 1932-1935. 117 wins and 13 saves in 12 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Chicago White Sox in 1926-1932. His best season was 1927 with Chicago as he posted a 19-16 record with a 2.98 ERA in 307.2 innings pitched. He finished his career with the Boston Red Sox in 1937.

Thomas didn't get to the major leagues until 1926, his age-26 season. Over the next six seasons he averaged 250 innings pitched for the White Sox. Before that he starred for Baltimore in the International League. Thomas' SABR biography sums it up:

Baltimore native Tommy Thomas signed his first professional baseball contract while still in high school and later became a standout pitcher on one of the greatest minor league teams of all time. . . .

. . . Thomas won 105 games while losing only 54 during his five years with Baltimore. He appeared in the Little World Series with Baltimore four times, going 4-4 in post-season play. Thomas’ lifetime pitching record in the International League was a stellar 138 wins, 85 losses and a 3.30 earned run average.

I like this one a lot

Nothing wrong with posting more 1933 Goudey cards, even if as kids they skipped meals which resulted in stunted growth.

1933 Goudey #'s 123 and 167: Jack Russell
 

Russell's SABR biography: With a lifetime record of 85-141 and a career earned-run average of 4.46, Russell was never in great demand – witness that three times he was signed by a team as a free agent, decades before free agency was the norm and could typically be achieved only by being unconditionally released by a ballclub. . . .

(Although he led the league in appearances in 1934 and was selected to the American League All-Star squad (in just the second All-Star Game ever played), 1933 was Russell's only excellent season out of 15 spent in MLB. His career record was 85-141 with a 4.46 ERA. But it turns out baseball may not have been his best sport.)

. . . In the (1935-36) offseason Russell played some golf in Florida and on February 1 led the field in the Florida State baseball players’ tournament, with a first-round 74. Wes Ferrell ultimately claimed the lead and Russell finished fifth. It was Ferrell first and Russell second in the 1940 tournament. Finally, years later, in the 1950 tournament, Russell won the whole thing, though he had to play an extra nine holes – “extra innings” – to beat Ferrell. It was the first of several wins. Russell later became president of the Florida State Golf Association. In 1961 he won the American Seniors Championship.

A few 1933 Goudey cards

I may be selling my 239 card set soon.

Those are really nice-looking cards for low grade.

I hve Jack Russell’s lifetime pass to baseball games. I bought it a few years back. I used to skip school once per year and go with my grandpa to Phillies Spring Training games as a kid at Jack Russell Stadium, so I wanted the one of a kind history. I have around 10 of his 1933 cards as well.

Ted Lyons- Baylor HOF’er
 

Currently reading the “Spoke” biography on Tris Speaker. Highly recommend, lots of great season by season detail

While reading I stumbled across a player who has a card in the ‘33 Goudey set, Ted Lyons. Looked him up and realized that he is my alma mater’s (Baylor University) only HOF player and a prewar one at that. So cool!

What really made me chuckle was reading his SABR bio.. he lettered in baseball and track making him a Baylor track alum like myself!

https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/ted-lyons/

I don’t know the ‘33 Goudey set well- are there many cards that talk about the player’s college background? I thought it was pretty cool to see Baylor mentioned on the back of the card…

And a card for reference from the eBay auction I missed out on last night…I need to get a Lyons one of these days!

Love 33 Goudeys! Maybe my favorite set (…uh, except the M101-1s and T3s and the others i love).

Always drawn to these cards…Al Simmons and the pink/purple Gehringer.

I’ll throw some more in to keep this going. I love this set!

I will venture to guess that the demand for those WWG cards is lower due to the dual language write-ups on the backs, and most collectors only want to see
English without the additional French. Just my guess.

I'm in a similar position...just missing all 4 Ruths, #92 Gehrig and Lajoie...JUST!!! LMAO

Love the set and mine is mostly VG-EX with most of the HOF'ers graded and averaging a 5...and here is some cards.

I have a bunch of '34s too, but here are my '33s . . .

Kind of an outlier to my set...from a condition standpoint...don't see one this nice too often.

Here are my two copyright cards

Autographed Cards
 

I've a few that are autographed. Like the copyright cards, I bought these without realizing they were auto'd or had a copyright. Probably in a group lot? From Ebay or a local show in the 1990s

I am loving all of these '33 Goudey images, they are the cards that brought me back into collecting a number of years ago.
I was actually not even aware of the older cards at the time, probably 15-20 years ago. I was taking guitar lessons from a guy and his dad said he had some cards he wanted to show me. I'm thinking these could really be good, maybe some early 50's Topps with a Mantle and others. Well he brought me the proverbial cigar box filled with his cards and lo and behold there were 145 '33 Goudeys as well as some '34's, '36's and a couple of '38's. Also some Diamond Stars from '34- '36 and Wide Pens from '36.
To make a fairly long story short, the gentleman eventually passed away and when his son (my guitar instructor) was liquidating some of his dad's things I asked about the cards and we were able to come to a price and the cards became mine.
That brought me to Net54 and I now have 226/240 of the set. Hoping I can share an image or two but I'm a bit out of practice inserting these.

Casey or Leo or somebody supposedly said something like: "Moe was fluent in eight languages, but he couldn't hit in any of 'em."

When his White Sox manager ran out of catchers and asked the team if anyone could catch, Moe (then a young infielder) said "I used to think so." The manager, Ray Schalk said: "Who told you you couldn't?" Moe's answer: "My high school coach." Schalk said: "Prove him wrong!". Moe caught for 13 seasons in MLB.



I've never heard this quote or this story!!! I love it! I am going to google it now! lol

thanks for sharing!
