Old Judge, K-Bats, and Four-Base Hits are some serious cards. But 1933 Goudeys helped pull a country out of a depression. During the depression, Baseball was still America's game, people were still listening to the exploits of Babe Ruth on the radio. The Goudey sets came out just when the country was pulling themselves out of the depression. Goudey produced the second major color sets of the century. Few if any people had color TVs back then. When they saw the Babe Ruth cards in the '33 Goudey Set, it may have been the first time they saw their hero in color.
