My Signed 1933 Goudey Collection - Any Uncle Jimmy Collection Winners Here?

Amazing accomplishment and I bet you have a ton of knowledge about those players as you have learned so much about them due to the different rarity of signatures. A book detailing all of that would be interesting. Just a quick scan revealed one of the rarities, Cliff Heathcote. According to his Wiki page, he was out of the big leagues in 1932 and passed away at the young age of 40 in 1939. I'm sure the stories like that could go on and on, in great detail. There's probably a handful of signatures on 1933 Goudey cards that just don't exist and never did. Of course the Lajoie would go for silly money if one even exists? I doubt you stop at 200 by the way

Funny you mentioned Heathcoate. I have his card signed, along with Earl Clark, he was the first to pass away from the set. Both of these are very special to me. Indeed, lots of great stories and many players that people have over looked.

I visited the grave of Lon Warneke just last week. He's another one that deserves more praise!

My best,

excellent pickups! I had about 213 different before I sold them off. Starting collecting them in 1988 and I think at one time I had 22 signed Willis Hudlins lol
Here is an article Bob Lehmke did regarding my collection about 10 years ago http://boblemke.blogspot.com/2009/08...-70-years.html
your goal of 200 is very attainable. Keep up the good fight

Thanks, Sean!
I didn't realize you cracked 200! That's impressive! I know I have many of your old cards. I treasure them!

Well, I guess that makes me the 4th to ever crack 200!

My best,

By the way, I own the George Davis from the link you posted. It's another one of my favorites.

Sean, Do you still think about those autographed Ruth cards that you passed up? Wow - assuming the cards were in good shape, the autographs crisp, and, oh yeah, real!

Yeah I am surprised I dont have nightmares lol That 1989 National was a goldmine! I can remember a dealer in St. Louis when I was really young that had a book FULL of signed pre war cards. THATS the one I think about often cause the second I started collecting them I never saw that dealer again
