i too, find it strange to have 2 almost identical poses. my thought is that goudey planned to have 2 different poses for some of the big stars of the era(ruth,cronin,ott,terry,manusch,o'doul)and just got lazy/frugal (depression) with the foxx and gehrig and figured 100% of the buyers were kids and they didn't/wouldn't care. the 2nd cards of lesser players were all in the 33 series and as we know came out after the world series. 3 cronins & manusch.but why 2 very similar walbergs??? and what about lajoie as the missing #? and it looks like a '34 series not '33? also, why did the add disappear on the bottom of the cards in some sheets? we can only guess?
