The Beauty of Goudey (1933)

[johnmh71]

These are some really nice cards. They remind you of just how nice this set was when it came out. So many cards from that set that you see today are pretty beat up.

This is my first pre-war card. My first "real" card I bought.

Patent pairs, Had about 25 of these over the years.
Should have kept a few for myself

I love the background on that Demmeree!!

I should have mentioned that I got the Grove when I was 16 back in 1989 at the Pier 92 show in NYC. It is as permanent a fixture in my collection as I have.

Favorite cards in this set

#181 Ruth the Green color just reminds of some 1930's minty fresh candy my grandfather would have had as a kid


Gehringer- the purple background just screams



Bengough- he's saluting the owner and the rest of the goudey set


Ripped these off ebay

Pepper Martin is my favorite, Lefty O'Doul second. Don't own either one.

Here you go, your two favorites and one of mine.

I would say over half the 1933 Goudey set has incredibly appealing artwork. Many of my favorites have been posted...my preference leans to the full body action with scenery backgrounds, as well as the cards picturing the player's upper body with solid color backgrounds. Here are a couple that haven't been seen yet on this thread...the Davis is just striking in my eyes:
