Default Let's compose a 1933 Goudey virtual set

The 1933 Goudey set was printed on ten 24-card sheets for 239 cards (#144 Ruth was double-printed).

The 10th sheet is very interesting, in that it is the "World Series" sheet. The 24 players in this series are
from the Washington and New York teams in the 1933 Fall Classic.

Goudey played a nasty trick on the kids collecting Goudey's in 1933, as they didn't print card #s 107-114
and #121-127 until this very last sheet (issued in November of '33). Just imagine how many Goudey Gum
packs were purchased trying to find these cards and #106 (Lajoie) in the Summer of '33 ?

I will start this virtual set with 7 of my favorites.

Show us your Goudey's and let's see if we can display all 239 cards.
