Besides Gehrig and Ruth, here are some more 1933 Goudey extra prints......

Foxx
Goslin
Hornsby
Hubbell
Manush
O'Doul
Ott
Terry

and, players who were in the 1933 World Series (printed on the last 24-card sheet).

Moore
Schulte
Schumacher

Today, they're called inserts and parallels.

Why double print cards when you can add to the "size" of the set by changing the numbers on the back?

I dont mind if they use the same picture but at least change the background color, but this making 2 identical Gehrigs is absurd. I have all the 1933 Goudey Yankees except I only own one of the two Gehrigs, and as far as i am concerned, my team set is complete. I see no need to have two identical cards that just had a different number printed on the back, not when its such an expensive card.
