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

[PhillyFan1883]

Hi David,

I hope all is well. Would you ever consider selling your Lajoie? Tried to message but no luck. If anyone knows how to reach David “Kawika” from page 2 of this thread please let me know. Happy collecting.

Hello Connor: No intention of breaking up my '33 Goudey set just yet. As I mentioned in my post from 2016 I'm a bit on the OC side so calling the set "complete" at 239 cards wasn't going to work for me. [Same reason I never undertook the T206 Monster - four mega-expensive holes in the set was a deal-killer]. But there is hope. I'm getting along and one of these years I'll probably cash out of the hobby. The plan is for Al C to drive a U-Haul up to Vancouver Island and auction off the works. There'll be a killer Love of the Game catalog - The Kawika Collection has a nice ring to it - then look for me in the obituaries.

I took the pm function private a couple of years ago due to the persistence of some of the ranks here in trying to separate me from my cards. I like to think of myself as a cordial fellow - I have always enjoyed friendly communications about cardboard but a couple of guys were real dicks and I just got tired of dealing with it.

HaHa dicks

Hello.
Has anyone ever seen an unopened 33 Goudey pack at any point in the past? I know the wrappers are very common but have never heard of a pack surviving. i've also never seen the box that held the packs.
Just curious as this is my favorite set of all time.
Thanks.
Jim

We need a crate for all these Goudeys.

David, I always enjoy seeing your collection. Consider two Conors interested in your Lajoie!

Hoping to pick one up to "complete" my set before the centennial!

That is a stacked sheet if I ever saw one.

Ted - Any info or thoughts on the blue back Ruth I posted earlier in the thread (a few years ago)?

Hi Ted.
I always enjoy reading your posts on the Goudey cards. This is my favorite set of all time but I still have a lot to learn about it. Do you ever remember seeing or hearing of any unopened packs at any point in the past?

No such luck....and, I have been collecting GOUDEY cards since 1981. I don't mean to be boasting here, but I have completed two 1933 GOUDEY sets (239 cards each).
Really nice ones. So, I have a lot of experience collecting these "gems" all these years. However, never seen any un-opened packs

I've seen a one (or 2) "blue bios" many years ago. I don't recall which subjects they were. It wasn't a Ruth card, though, for I would not have forgotten that card.

The Blue lettering is simply the result of not applying the Yellow ink in the printing process of the backs.
