Collecting the 1934 Goudey set?

[familytoad]

My take on this set is to get the Gehrig card or cards first. (At least the pose you like best).

For any of the sets with a very high value card or two in it, your success is going to be based on those biggies.

For example, if you said you had an almost complete set of 34 G 's the first thing fellow collectors are going to ask is "How are your Gehrigs?"

I think it would be cool to be looking for just the right Eldon Auker or even Chuck Klein than to be stuck looking for the right Lou Gehrig(s) price/grade fit for completion.

You might lose steam towards the end if you wait for all the bigger cards until last and potentially they might increase in price over the years.
Start big, fill in whenever posible and end with a triumphant but not major expensive card!

Its a cool set , especially when displayed all together. Best of luck in your quest!
