1939 Playball Gehrig, 1934 Goudey Ruth, and other cards that never were
Lately , the forum has addressed the omission of Joe Jackson in several sets such as T206, T205, and T207 among other E and T sets that could have featured him. There have been some great theories explaining why he was omitted. I have wondered since I started collecting as a kid why some other cards were never made, a few that come to mind are the '38 goudey and '39 Playball Lou Gehrig , 1934 goudey Babe Ruth, Fan Craze Mathewson , and even more perplexing to me Is if the T206 Plank is scarce because of a broken printing plate, why wasn't there an alternate Plank card in that set with a different pose ? I am wondering if any other members have thoughts on these or any other cards that never were? I know it is what it is but it's still fun to imagine what some of these would look like if they were made?

I always wondered why Ernie Lombardi was not included in the 1933 Goudey set. He had a pretty good 1932 season...

I saved this scan from a website a few years ago that was about "cards that never were." I have misplaced the e-addy but there were some great fantasy cards there.

That CJ Ruth looks like one of Keith Conforti's creations...he uses the handle Con40.

Also...T210 Jim Thorpe (he was in the Eastern Carolina League that year and could have been in Series 7)

The 1936 Goudey set is only 25 cards, so there are many HOF omissions from that set. Feller and DiMaggio are featured in the 199 card Goudey Wide Pen set.
Although I am not sure why Gehrig is featured in the 1936 Canadian Goudey WWG set and not in the Wide Pen set.
