George Moll, the hobby pioneer responsible for all the Bowman and Play Ball cards, showed me
his 1933 Goudey Durocher (#106).

I was fortunate to visit George back in 1981. George showed me a tremendous amount of stuff,
from when he collected Goudey's to when his Adv. and Art Agency produced the Bowman Gum
cards from 1937 to 1955 (uncut sheets of Play Ball's and Bowman's to the original artwork for
the Horrors of War cards).

Among all these "goodies" he showed me his 1933 Goudey's, and occupying the slot in his album
for card #106 was this Durocher.

However, I vaguely recall his answer to me as to where this card came from. I think he said that
his Agency printed it back in the late 1930's when they started printing the cards for GUM, INC. ?
