Seeking scans of 1941 Goudey miscuts
 

I'm seeking pictures of 41G miscuts, to work out how they fit together on print sheets. If you own any of these 41Gs, would you check for miscuts in any direction, with special attention to seeing another card's name, number, white edge, or player picture? If you find one, post a photo? It could help fill the missing pieces of this 70+ year old puzzle.

19 Posedel

Thanks in advance!

Great project. I will check the handful of cards I have on your list to see if there are any miscuts, and will post scans of anything I have. 1941 Goudey cards are certainly rife with miscuts...how far the quality control fell from their 1930's issues.

I have never really looked into this set before but it is a rough one...the grading on these is very forgiving of you ask me. I found these 2 cards very interesting.

A couple from your list and a bonus one just in case it helps (Todd, which has a visible '3' on bottom right). Good luck with your research Matthew.

Can't provide scans right now but I have Case, Posedel and Warstler all mis-cut top to bottom with the same player above and below.

My only (previous) one doesn't help much. Good luck in the quest.

Thanks so far, all! My working theory's that Goudey used 6x5 sheets, with five different players left to right and three repeated strips vertically, giving you miscut overlaps for same players up and down and then different players left and right.

Using letter sequences instead of numbers, since I don't have anything completed to share. Miscuts could be b/b or b/h vertical, a/b or b/c horizontal. With 15 players per sheet, there'd be at least three sheets with different player arrangements to fill the 33-card checklist.

41G has just two "big stars," Mel Ott and Carl Hubbell. It's possible those guys got extra prints and it's assumed others are SPs. Of the four colors, red seems to have worst quality control for cutting, which could explain why it's also the least graded, as Goudey might've discarded many of them before packaging.

More miscut photos are welcome and thanks for the pointer to CardTarget. Using it and WorthPoint have given me a lot to work with.
