Just a thought , maybe the Babe didn't want to appear on the '34 goudey set because of the "Lou Gehrig or Chuck Klein says" design? The lack of a Gehrig Playball card from '39 or even '40 is one I can't figure out , I am not sure when the '39 cards hit the market , but I would think even if it was after his retirement, they would still issue one . I think the issue with Ted Williams , Feller , Musial , maybe Jackie Robinson and probably several others from the early '50's was them selling their rights to either Topps or Bowman but not both.
