1936 Goudey R322 front/back combos

[DaveW]

Thanks Brian and Ben! I'll check your cards when I get back from my holiday travels.

With all the new members joining recently, I thought I'd rescue this thread from the depths. Surely some of the new guys must have some of these cards! I'm up to 161 front/back combos now. Over 1100 views and only 7 guys have info to share! This must be a very unpopular set.

Hi Dave,
Can you list the back f/b combos you have found? Kind of hard to follow which ones have been accounted for so far. Are you just looking for dark print (strike, ball,double,foul, etc.) or also the descriptions found below the listed term? Good work on this.

Rich,
I would be kind of hard to list all 161 of the front/back combos. Once I've found them all, I will write up a complete description of the set. Right now I'm just hoping that people will share with me what cards they have. Previous posts describe what plays are not unique and so need at least the first two words so I can tell which card it is. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Dave,

I am just starting this set - so much for focusing on what I had already started. I won an auction from Heritage with 6 cards:

Bonura - Foul (over the press)/Ball (too high)
Cochrane - Home Run/Ball (outside - in fact very wide)
Gomez - Three Bagger (What a smash)/Out (a line drive to center)
Higgins - Strike (a fast in-shoot)/Ball (TOO Low)
Greenberg - Hit by pitched ball (takes his base. trainer)/Out (Pop foul to catcher)
Dykes - Out (High infield fly)/Error (line smash to 3rd)

I would love to see your list when you are complete.

Mike - Thanks for digging up this old thread. It's good to see that there is some interest in this set. When I get home from vacation on Monday, I'll fix the picture links above and write up what I've learned after looking at hundreds and hundreds of these cards. Hint -there are 175 total front/back combos, but it's not as straight-forward as you would think.

P.s. Is it sort of pitiful that I still check this site when I'm on vacation?

Dave,

Thanks - look forward to seeing what you have. Not sure if I will go for the master set right away, but I can see trying to get all of the backs for my favorite player in the set to start (of course Greenberg just happens to also be the most expensive card in the set).

As for checking Net54 on vacation: it all depends on what your vacation is. If you were visiting your inlaws as I was, then no problem. If you are on a cruise, or in Paris with your wife, then stay off this site. Of course, it is New Year's Eve and I am checking it (as my wife just happens to be on another continent with one of my kids, so it this or watching a movie with a bunch of 10 year olds).
