got 2 pre-war card same day and remember it well. at a garage sale at my neighbors when i was about 10. he had both a 1933 goudey benny bengough, just like above, and a 1938 goudey heads-up bob feller. since he liked me, i showed interest and both were unsold my wonderful old neighbor gave them to me. i still own both and even took the feller to his museum in van meter, he signed it. he also went on to let me know that the card is dead wrong. "if i'd ever thrown a baseball at my dads barn, he'd have skinned my hide." loved hearing him tell that story. for those who dont understand. it states next to his cartoony pic that he learned his control by throwing a baseball through a knothole in the side of his fathers barn.
