1930s Baseball Cards - Colors and Artwork

Love me some 30's era cards. #144 Ruth is at the top of my list of favorites as well. '33 Goudey Foxx, '34 Goudey Greenberg and '33 Sport Kings Cobb are fantastic as well. Gerhrig's '33 Goudey is special too when it's found with nice registration. And awesome Ruth there Leon. Doesn't get much better than that in any grade.

There are so many great, artistic 1930's issues. One of my favorites is the Diamond Star set. It seems to get overlooked, being that it is missing Ruth and Gehrig, but what a beauty they are. I picked a random card from the set to showcase all of its art deco background glory (card not mine).

How about the Tattoo Orbits? I just want to know what's going on in the background of Dizzy's card?

I have my dad's Diamond Stars that he collected as a kid. great looking cards. I collected a set in PSA 5.

Even without Ruth and Gehrig it has 30 HOF's out of the set of 96. lots of stars.

If you are into art deco with a touch of Gothic thrown in, I think you could do worse than the George Millers. Dean has long been on my want list.

About time the 30s got some love! I personally have been bitten by the T206 bug lately, but my first vintage love was '33 Goudeys for the reasons already mentioned.
