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.
