This was moved to the Pre-war (WWII) forum from the post war (WWII) forum. Good luck in the quest and happy hunting.

All I can find is the checklist, which outlines the 13 card set.


Can anyone else help???

Look in the Standard Catalog under "1938 Goudey Big League Baseball Movies". There are 13 different players, but 12 of the 13 had a part 1 and a part 2. If you look at the cover, it will tell you whether you have a part 1 or a part 2. There are 4 DiMaggio's. All for say Joe, but 2 of them actually picture Vince.

If I could purchase 12 of these for $150, assuming they are in decent condition, I would absolutely buy them. The Dimaggio's book for $140 ea in VG condition.

Good luck. Rick

BTW, there is no difference in value between the Part 1's and the Part 2's.

Appreciate the reply. I ended up buying the 12 today for $120.
These are the 1937 version though. I've seen the 1938's which came with a part 1 and part 2. The ones I'm referring to did not have a cover with a picture of the player stating anything other then them being a thum movie. The covers are red or blue. My guess has been that a red and blue color variety were made..nothing different about them except the color of the book.

Still looking for more information! !!

Those are nice. After taking another look at the Standard Catalog, I now see "1937 Goudey Thum Movies". Not much info, except for the list of 13 players. No mention of any color variations.

At $120, you did well. The DiMaggio is worth more than that.

Ya I found the list of 13, but no other information. Of the 12 I bought I have 4 red and 8 blue. The dimaggio is red (so I can only hope they are rare). Still hoping to find more information and value... I would say the ones I have range from a graded 2 to 6. I would also be interested in buy card number 1 (Burns) if anyone has it for sale
