1933 Goudey advice

[T206Collector]

Well, you and I are now apparently in competition with each other!

I usually check cardtarget.com for some general pricing data, as well as ebay sales.

You should be aware that there are low numbered cards that tend to go for a bit more. This article will give you the details on this and other phenomena to be aware of:

Fortunately I am at 235/240, and am now picking up commons in PSA 5/SGC 60/BVG 5 holders, so we should not be in direct competition too often. I try to pick up as many examples of these for under $50 as possible.

Though technically the second Goudey I ever picked up, this Grove has been in my collection for about 25 years, which is about 23 years longer than any of the other Goudeys in my collection:



Happy hunting!

I'm slowly building a PSA 6 set. I use VCP and have found good deals in some online auction houses along with eBay and the B/S/T here. Good luck with your set Iowadoc. I've got a long way to go yet. Just 34/240.

All good stuff.
Thanks to all who have responded.
I have also decided to finish up my 1971 Topps set. Back story- when I was 12 years old, my cousins boyfriend gave me a shoebox full of 1968, 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1975 topps mini cards. Highlights- 1968 Mantle, 1971 Clemente, Mays, Aaron, Bench, Frank Robinson, 1972 Fisk, 1975 mini Yount. I had a total of 236 different 1971 Topps in mostly VG-EX condition. The Clemente graded 60 by SGC, pretty good for a card that was well-loved and sorted many times by me. Anyway, I will be working on both sets, so should be fun.
Anymore advice would be appreciated. Thanks
