1933 Goudey question

[rdwyer]

Can someone tell me what I got here. Is it a printing error, or was it common for 1933 Goudeys to bleed through like this one? What extra value would this card have for being this way?

I would ask this question in the prewar section.

Normal. No added value.

Thanks.

That is called a wet sheet transfer. Someone placed a not yet completely dry sheet on top of another, not waiting until it was dried out sufficiently.

Disagree. This is bleed through, not a wet sheet transfer. Very common for the 1933 Goudey issues (Indian Gum, etc). No added value, but helps confirm authenticity.

Happens often with Goudeys - here's another example. Now if these were on T206's the price multiple would be insane!

You mean that it bled from the front all the way through the thickness of the card into the back? That's pretty wild, I learn something new every day. I think one of the few Goudey's that I have has something similar.

Yep; mainly seen on the dark block colors (blue, red).
