Default It's really a 1934 GOUDEY Lajoie......

I do not understand why this card is referred to as a 1933 GOUDEY ?

It was printed with the 24 high #s in late 1934 at the Goudey factory.

Furthermore, card #106 was not the only missing card in the Spring of 1933 when that series of GOUDEY's were issued. There were 21
other low # cards** that were not issued till the Fall of 1933.

A nasty marketing trick by Goudey in the Spring of 1933 to keep collectors buying wax packs....looking for those missing card numbers.


Uncut 1934 GOUDEY high #'s sheet....includes the rare Lajoie (#106) card





Note
Card #'s 97, 98, 99, 128, 129, and 142 were printed on sheet #9.

Card #'s 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, and 127 were printed on the last sheet, #10.
