Need help: 1937 goudey thum movies??

[MLB535]

Hey guys. I need some help on a set of baseball cards that a seller has that I'm interested in. Did a little research but not find a lot of information, so any information would be greatly appreciated.

I found 12 1937 goudey thum movie cards (flip books). From what I can see there are 13 cards/ flip books in the set.

The cover colors of these cards/flip books are either red or blue...so my guess is that there are two versions of this set. Looking online I also saw black covers, but these seem to be from part 2 of the collection?

The 12 cards/flip books are being sold for $150, but are in decent shape. Rounded corners slight crease.

Can anyone someone tell me more about these...if te value is there...what the difference is in colors?? Anything would be great...if need to gather as much info as possible before tomorrow at 11 am!!!!!

Cheers

I did the search on the checklists, but they are so vague. There is no other information posted that I know of, discussing the different colors and what they mean. I don't even know which on is more rare.

All I can find is the checklist, which outlines the 13 card set.


Can anyone else help???

This was moved to the Pre-war (WWII) forum from the post war (WWII) forum. Good luck in the quest and happy hunting.

Look in the Standard Catalog under "1938 Goudey Big League Baseball Movies". There are 13 different players, but 12 of the 13 had a part 1 and a part 2. If you look at the cover, it will tell you whether you have a part 1 or a part 2. There are 4 DiMaggio's. All for say Joe, but 2 of them actually picture Vince.

If I could purchase 12 of these for $150, assuming they are in decent condition, I would absolutely buy them. The Dimaggio's book for $140 ea in VG condition.

Good luck. Rick

BTW, there is no difference in value between the Part 1's and the Part 2's.

Appreciate the reply. I ended up buying the 12 today for $120.
These are the 1937 version though. I've seen the 1938's which came with a part 1 and part 2. The ones I'm referring to did not have a cover with a picture of the player stating anything other then them being a thum movie. The covers are red or blue. My guess has been that a red and blue color variety were made..nothing different about them except the color of the book.

Still looking for more information! !!
