Good Luck on completing it !
By the way do you how many complete signed sets there are in existence ?
Also I did nor see the Lajoie card listed ,do you know of a Lajoie signed card or are you not counting it for your collection ?

I appreciate it. My 33 Goudey set is almost certainly the most complete signed 33 Goudey set in existence. The next closest set I know of is currently around 20 short of mine. I would obviously love to add the Lajoie signed Goudey, but I don't consider that a true 33 Goudey. It was released in 1934 to appease collectors who complained about the missing card number.

I always thought that in terms of appearance, it looks more like a 1934 Goudey than a 1933 Goudey, with that play at the plate illustration in the background.

Amazing Jason. Congrats. I have an autograph book I think obtained by the same Tigers batboy who got almost all the american league players. he continued on with it later in life at I think old timers games or Cooperstown. Here are a few sample pageszz auto album 3.jpgzz auto album 1.jpg

I love this collection, but I can't figure out for the life of me why you dipped your toes into the deep dark waters of signed T206 cards! Stay focused on cards from after World War I please!

Nope Nope Nope. Go full steam into prewar, Jason. You know you hate those 34 Goudeys. They are ugly ugly cards right?

So long as you both stay away from postwar, especially those 53 Topps. Man, those are some butt ugly cards. Who would ever collect that crap?

If I were you that's how I would look at it too.

Great collection! If you ever change your mind, at least you know the signed Lajoie is out there: Link
