It sounds as if you're one who wants to complete sets. If so, the Goudeys are good choices. Nice set, lots of stars, and many cards will be very affordable in that grade.
There are lots and lots of other interesting Pre-War sets, including small and relatively affordable ones. But Gd to Vg 33 and 34 Goudey sounds a fine choice to me.
The only issue is, if you buy raw (which is a great way to get save money), is to make sure you're buying authentic ones. There are fakes and reprints. Obviously most of the forgeries will be of the big stars, especially Ruth.
You can start a Goudey set by buying a group lot of raw low grade commons for cheap.
