Let's compose a 1933 Goudey virtual set

[tedzan]

The 1933 Goudey set was printed on ten 24-card sheets for 239 cards (#144 Ruth was double-printed).

The 10th sheet is very interesting, in that it is the "World Series" sheet. The 24 players in this series are
from the Washington and New York teams in the 1933 Fall Classic.

Goudey played a nasty trick on the kids collecting Goudey's in 1933, as they didn't print card #s 107-114
and #121-127 until this very last sheet (issued in November of '33). Just imagine how many Goudey Gum
packs were purchased trying to find these cards and #106 (Lajoie) in the Summer of '33 ?

World Series players (10th sheet in Goudey set)





I will start this virtual set with 7 of my favorites.







Show us your Goudey's and let's see if we can display all 239 cards.

Any consideration to starting over again, and posting the cards in order?

Otherwise, there will be duplicates and gaps...

[Leon]

Though your suggestion makes good sense I am not sure how it would be accomplished?

I presume Ted is keeping track.

[tedzan]

In my opinion, the "coolest" image in the entire set. I acquired this one back in 1984, when
Goudey's were reasonably priced. It was my 1st 33G and started me on completing this set.
I most likely could not afford to put together a comparable set in the current market.

"Strange things are happening".....OK, you trivia buffs.....who used to say that on TV ?

Anyhow, Pete Jablonowski's major league career started in 1927 with Cincinnati. In 1932,
pitching for the Newark Bears, he had an 11-1 (W-L) record. And, batted .300 helping the
Bears win the International League pennant.
The Yankees were very impressed with him and brought him up for the 1933 season. At the
end of that season he married Aldora Leszcynski. She insisted he change his name since she
didn't want to be called "Aldora Leszcynski Jablonowski". So, he changed it to Pete Appleton.
The change appeared to help his pitching career. He had his best season in 1936 with Wash-
ington....winning 14 while losing 9.

Jack Quinn started pitching with the New York Highlanders in 1909. He enjoyed a long Major League
career. Here Jack is in the 1933 set pitching for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Jack Quinn is the only active
ballplayer to be in the T206 set and the 1933 Goudey set.
