1933 Goudey Hack Wilson - really a 1934 issue?

[jerseygary]

Can't speak to how late the Goudey's were printed or issued, but I think the color scheme on Hack's Goudey card has more to do with the artist having no idea what team colors were for each team. Not all match what a team wore that year - look at Ruth's drab cap in the portrait card of him and the A's players in red and white, Phillies with a blue peaked cap, the Browns in red...

I'm a big Hack Wilson fan and I'm going to visit your site right now!

I did wonder if "artistic license" was prevalent in the illustrator's color palette. I'll take a look at the examples you cite. It does seem unlikely to me that, with having a 1934 Goudey set, this "33" card could be issued that late. Maybe it is just coincidence - or the illustrator had ESP!

Hey Brad

Nice start on your Hack Wilson website

As I am sure you know, the 239 cards in this set were printed on 10 sheets (each sheet consisting of 24 cards).

Years ago, I saw all 10 of these sheets. Wilson (#211) was printed on sheet 8. Therefore, I'd say with certainty
that Wilson's card was issued in 1933.
