1933 Lajoie story

Posted By: runscott

In re-reading Lew Lipset's recent catalog, lot #1 description, I see that the '33 Lajoie was actually printed as the last card in the last series for 1934. Very interesting - didn't know they waited until 1934 to print it.

I also read somewhere that the '33 Lajoie was only available to people who wrote in asking for it.

These two ideas certainly can co-exist, but does anyone have any other information on the card? Why were collectors demanding a Lajoie card in 1933? Why not Honus Wagner or Ty Cobb? Why did Goudey succumb?
