1933 Goudey Autographs

Now that I take a closer look at that Lajoie, I do not believe it to be real. The signature looks way too slow and deliberate.

Nice to see the signed Goudeys again. I thought you had 2 signed Ruths ? Anyhow, it's nice to see the signatures again. Please let me have first option on the Hack Wilson if you ever decide to sell it. I regret letting it go, but I know it's in the hands of a true collector. I'm satisfied with this on, which is also from the collection of Mr. Laity.

I got my first signed 33 (a Earl Whitehill for $50 off gar miller) on xmas 1988. not long after I got a vhs of the Barry Halper collection showing that Lajoie. Thats when I came to the realization that it was possible to have every card in the set signed. 25 Years and 250 signed goudeys later I am not so sure about the Lajoie either. Also I am positive there is no earl Clark. Ive looked for these longer then anyone and am sure of that. Interestingly, many Johnny Welch;s were signed (and by many I mean maybe 5) but Earl Clark was a minor leaguer for most of the 30's and was killed in a car accident in 1938. i do believe this to be the first set that multiple kids got signed at games based on the amount of vintage signed ones I ve seen including the red lines.

I'm guessing many of this type and quality of card are tucked away in private collections, only surfacing periodically. I see the more common signed 30s and older cards on ebay here and there. I don't bother to look at auction houses, as I don't have that kind of money to spend on them. Sure would be nice to know that more of these were signed though before many of the players passed away. I absolutely love the vintage signed cards. Have nothing of this magnitude to boast about, but try to grab any that I see at a budget collectors price. I have a few 33-34 Goudeys, Diamond Stars, Batter Ups and most commonly the 39-41 Play Balls. No T cards in this collection unfortunately.

Enjoyed the pictures, especially the Maranville, Cuyler, Wilson, etc., all brief Dodgers, which is my autograph passion.
