I collect uncut sheets of all sorts, and I have not seen a 1934 Goudey high # sheet without Lajoie in 30+ years. I would venture to say it does not exist.

Therefore theoretically, the population of the Lajoie card should equal any given 1934 Hi # card (card #73-96). SGC pop report data appears to support
this fact.

Back in 1982, I heard a story that Jefferson Burdick acquired 25 - Lajoie cards when he wrote a letter requesting them from the Goudey Gum Co.
