How Rare is the 1933 Goudey Napoleon Lajoie?

[tedzan]

The final 24-card sheet in this GOUDEY set was printed and issued circa November 1933. The bios on the backs of these cards reflect the 1933 World Series.
I do not have a scan of this sheet, so here is my diagram of it which clearly shows 15 lower # cards included on it along with the final 9 cards of this set.

It certainly was a clever marketing trick by the Goudey Co. to issue these lower # cards at the end of the season, as it kept collectors** in the Spring of '33
buying Goudey packs looking for these cards. And at the same time, a mean trick to collectors of Goudey cards.

**....This fact was confirmed in 1981 by an older collector who remembered as a kid in the Spring/Summer of 1933 spending all his allowance searching for
cards #106 - 114, and 121 - 129.
