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

[SMPEP]

Thanks! Honestly, my photography sucks. In person, the cards POP as the colors are more vibrant than my photos suggest. Whoever did this is a very good artist - and I think they used a fountain pen to do it. I can't even believe the skill it took.

All I can say is I think that they found a good home - because I like these cards better than I would a PSA 10 1952 Mantle (although at this point I might be tempted by a 1952 Reiser Grey back!).

Cheers,
Patrick

Your guy puts the Topps airbrush artists to shame!

The 1933 Goudey is my All Time #1 favorite set. Love everything about it except- why would they issue the same card with two different numbers!? Lou Gehrig is certainly worthy of multiple cards, but the same picture and back? Gimme a break.

Agreed I'm not sure if I'm going to buy the 2nd one for my set wish they would of changed the pose some

This pair of proof cards will be in my next auction, pretty scarce cards and documentation of the printing process for these cards.

Those altered cards are beyond amazing. And I think it's great that you're trying to recreate the original collection. I'll definitely let you know if I run into any.
