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! !!

Those are nice. After taking another look at the Standard Catalog, I now see "1937 Goudey Thum Movies". Not much info, except for the list of 13 players. No mention of any color variations.

At $120, you did well. The DiMaggio is worth more than that.

Ya I found the list of 13, but no other information. Of the 12 I bought I have 4 red and 8 blue. The dimaggio is red (so I can only hope they are rare). Still hoping to find more information and value... I would say the ones I have range from a graded 2 to 6. I would also be interested in buy card number 1 (Burns) if anyone has it for sale

From what I gather goudey produced these all within 2 years 1937 and 1938.
All sets ( my version red and blue) and the version you just showed me (with the players face on it - part 1 and 2) are part of a 13 player set.

Still very confused on why different colors were made, why only 13 players were chosen, and why both the 37 and 38 set are identical...minus the cover styles.....

Still looking for more details guys..

Anyone else able to share some new information??? Really want to be educated on these!

I have had these for quite some time and have a few others. I believe they were sold just like the regular goudey cards, in a pack with gum. I have the wrapper somewhere I can scan for you.
