I've always been baffled by the price difference between the Goudey and WWG. This hobby lives and dies for rarity and variance but for some reason there isn't much interest in the rarity or variance of the WWG set.

I personally think it's because there is still something "foreign" about the WWG. They are definitely great cards. But the French writing makes it seem a little less "authentically American". And if I'm going to shell out over $1000 for a baseball card, I think it might bug me a little bit that it still seems like a foreign issue.

I definitely think that's the reason the Sanella cards are still relatively cheap...the German writing on the back makes them feel like less of a standard baseball card. Because the image on those is great.

I think the 1933 WWG has a variant with an English only back.

Yes, it is called Goudey R319
This was posted in another thread but it fits the 1500 dollar range. From our BST a year or so ago...and it has a couple other no names in it too.

I thought I remember there being an English only version of the 33 WWG cards. Maybe not.

I thought of this thread today while I was checking out the 2020 Topps Heritage checklist. The 2020 set is going to have French variation cards as short prints.
