1938 Goudey Heads Up
I only have two cards from this colorful set. Neither player had a spectacular career. Most people (myself included) would consider them commons; however, they both logged considerable time the majors.
Bump Hadley racked up 161 wins over a 16 year career. He was also a member of the Yankees during their 1936-39 run of four consecutive World Series titles. All things considered, he could have chosen a worse way to spend 16 years. Dick Bartell also had a solid career, playing 18 years and rapping out 2,165 hits. He received an All-Star nod in 1933. Then, he was on the squad again in '37 and finished sixth in the MVP voting that year. These cards (the entire set, not just Hadley and Bartell) seem to be polarizing. Collectors often take a "love 'em" or "hate 'em" stance regarding 1938 Goudey. Which, of course, makes them a good topic for a poll.

Heads up
It’s an odd but classic set!
I like the cartoons version better, and I think there was an old hobby myth that these “higher “ numbers were more difficult. I haven’t witnessed that at all, maybe the opposite! I have the full cartoon set. I am also half way finished with the lower number , bland version, but I have not been aggressively looking. Someday maybe they will become a higher priority. But I really do like them…heck I like ALL old baseball cards!

Al Lopez with cartoons #281 is my lone Heads Up.
Classic set, very recognizable, and the cartoon embellishments add to the fun style of the cards.

I like the look and i think it is an upgrade to the Big Head cards of the 1916-1920 UNC Series
