33 Goudey Gehrig does nothing for me either. I much rather either of his cards from the 34 set.

Completely agree with you... the 33’s are so bland and the 34’s are beautiful, particular the yellow portrait one. I also dislike the Ruth dugout pose in the 33 set, indifferent to the red and yellow background cards, but do love the look of the double printed issue. Oddly enough I think the most aesthetically pleasing cards of the 33 set are common players (e.g. Demaree and Cuccinello) although I think the same somewhat for T206’s (My favorite cards are the Cambitz arm crossed, Jap Barbeau, and by far the Solly Hofman)... I supposed it comes down to personal preference though.
