1933 Goudey collectors here ?

[btkpath]

The '33 Goudey's represented my return to baseball card collecting after a 25 year hiatus. I used to collect cards as a kid in the early to mid 70's, but was met with a mother that "couldn't remember where she put my cards" when questioned about returning the cards of my youth to me as a 38 year old. That is when I turned to vintage and began my foray with the '33 Goudeys, a set which seemed "completable" and I loved their appearance.

It took me 2 1/2 to 3 years, but was able to complete the set.....

including this modestly graded Lajoie.

I think it's a sweet looking set. I try to buy 1 goudey a month. I've been doing it now for about a year. I'm up to 13 cards. My goal is a set in PSA 6.

Hi.
The 33 Goudeys are my favorite set of all time. I once had a set about 75% done but had to sell off most of the cards. I have kept only 5 of my favorites but intend on tackling the set again.
I doubt I'll get a Lajoie but you never know. What do low grade examples of the Lajoie go for?

I can agree more with that. It is what i hate about collecting t206 cards...impossible to complete the set..i know i will never be able to finish the set..but with goudey it is possible to complete the setvwith lajoie ...you dont need to be millionaire like t206..

Sometime i think to pass my plank for afford a lajoie...perhaps one day i will do it and build only a 520 or 521 t206 set

And congrat to you for your complete and almost complete set..the psa and sgc set i saw in this thread is verry cool

My first prewar HOF pickups were a '34 (not '33) Goudey Gehringer and a T206 Waddell pitching, and these sets were the foundation for my prewar interest. I've since completed the HOFer run in both sets (minus Plank/Wagner and the '33/'34 Lajoie). I'd like to finish the Goudey set someday (need a few more Scott Forrest lots for that to happen), but am in no hurry.. No desire to go after the full T206 set, but love both sets.

I only have eight of them but all are HOFers. I think the 33 Goudeys and the 34 Diamond Stars are the most attractive cards. The 33 Goudey Klein and Herman are beautiful and my favorites in that set.

I love this set!! Top and 2nd shelf in this pic have some of my goudeys... Sorry for the pour pic quality - am still learning how to post pics...

[dzolot]

Would love to complete this set in psa 5 ish level (and already have some of the big$$ cards) but would be a looooooong road!! I would be happy to have it done even without the nap... Great thread. Love to hear the significance of this set to so many collectors...

Beautifull 1.5 eugene !! My favorite Ruth pose !!
Why it is 1.5 ? Back damage?
