Then I realized that #230-240 of the set are all Giants, and several of them refer to the 1933 World Series. The back of #236 Davis calls it a 5-game series so it's obviously over. That means that at least the highest numbers of the set were issued AFTER the end of the season, presumably several weeks later.
- does anybody know how late the 1933 set was issued?
- Was the set originally planned to be 230 cards, and were the last ten numbers #230-240 a kind of World Series update to the set? If so, it seems like they would be much scarcer than the rest.

Hi Tim
I posted a thread regarding the 1933 GOUDEY set this past March. Check it out......

Here is my simulated World Series sheet. Sheet #10 was printed in mid October; and, these 24 cards were issued circa..November 1933.
The bios reflect the 1933 World Series between the NY Giants and Washington. From my Goudey set, I have arranged these cards to exactly
simulate this 24-card sheet..........
This diagram of the 10th sheet tells the story when the remaining 15 (of the 16) mysterious lower numbered cards where finally issued.
