Mystery's of the 1933 Goudey set....and, show us your Goudey's

[buymycards]

Hi Ted, I love the 33's. It is difficult to pick a favorite because they are all so interesting. I have about 20 lower grade commons. At one time I was putting the set together and I was up to 108. I sold them and I wish I still had them.

Thank you for the interesting history lesson.

This card would surely be a PWCC (HE) and sell for double the SMR like they have recently been doing.

Beautiful card, Leon.

Baseball records "come-n-go......but, one still standing is Hack Wilson's single-season RBI record.

The 1930 season was magical for him...... BA= .356....HR= 56....RBI= 191

A picture is worth a thousand (divided by approximately 8) cards. Slice and Dice 'em, which gets rid of that red advertising bar at bottom, then Rack and Stack 'em for a little artistic flair. A few 1934 cards thrown in as ballast.

Examples of my least favorite 1933 Goudey cards are the ones that include heavy, dark outlining around the player's image. Examples of this would be the Walberg, Farrell and to a lesser degree Mahaffey as seen in Rick's scan of his Goudey cards. They have always thrown my eye off. I guess not all cards within the set can be perfect.

Thanks for the timeline info, Ted. Neat to read!

I pick up a cheap Goudey every so often ...
