1934 Goudey Question???

[iggyman]

In a prior thread, Frank Ward was kind enough to give some insight on a 1934 Goudey card (in relation to authenticity). Here is his statement...

This is where I look... edges of photo area, colors dont line up perfectly (red boxes), the bottom of the image area is usually cropped and the thin line under Gehrigs face and the bottom of the "y" is cut off (cropped).

Also the uniform and the border blend together good, most reprints will crop the photo and add a new white border (too white compared to the rest of the card)

But a homemade fake (inkjet printer glued front and back together) made from a scan of an authentic card will look authentic

With this new found knowledge (I know, it is a dangerous thing...), I am now questioning my own partial '34 Goudey set. It seems I have six cards with the "y" in "says" cut off at the bottom. I've also seen a couple of graded 1934 Goudey cards with the "y" cut off at the bottom. Here is a pic of an ebay auction (ends today) with some beaters, but the "y" is cut off at the bottom.

In Frank's statement, he only specified that this is one of the things to look for........I have one simple question to the board or Frank for that matter. Are there authenic 1934 Goudey cards with the "y" cut off at the bottom???
