1933 Goudey - Am I Seeing Double?!

[dabigyankeeman]

It has been said that there are "minor differences" in the 2 Lou Gehrig cards in the 33 Goudey set.

Can anyone tell me what they are, or even better, show me with scans please? I have Number 160 and have always been negative towards going after Number 92, but now am not so sure. But i really would like to know if there really are differences and what they are if any.

Thanks for any help here.

according to this thread, http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=160120 , the blue backgrounds are slightly different shades.

I still am only missing #160 Gehrig and Lajoie from my set. It'll probably stay that way forever, but I do still watch the #160's that pop up on ebay sail past my "at this price I'll get the second Gehrig" threshold.

Thanks. Me too with the #92, if i see a "1" grade (or raw card that would grade "1") that has good eye-appeal i just might pull the switch as i have every other Yankee card from that year.

A Goudey thread resurrected. It's a miracle.

So... I picked up this #92 in Huggins and Scott a couple of weeks ago:



But then immediately traded my #160 for this T206 Johnson and 33 Goudey Hubbell. It is going to be hard for me to hang on to two "of the same" Gehrigs....
