Looking for these signed 1933 Goudey cards…HELP!

[Republicaninmass]

I believe Pat's son is on the boards under Quinnsryche (sp). I might have made that up though.

Hank,
Thanks, I'll reach out to Kevin Keating. I would love to get a few good stories about Pat Quinn.

Ted,
I'll reach out to his son too. Small world! Thanks for the suggestion!

My best,
Marty S.

Marty,

Great 1933 Story here! Wow!

I have only owned 1 Goudey signed and it was a BEAUTIFUL 1933 Bill Herman that I had gotten from him in the mail back in the 1980s! It was so nice!

I'm ashamed to tell you what I sold it for! Ugh!

If you have a stunning Herman........it was mine! . No longer mine! ugh

I'll keep my eyes peeled!

Thanks for sharing!

Mike

Ted, you know darn well he's my dad!
Although, sometimes I pause before admitting that.
I'll ask him if it's true or not. I know at one point he had at least a half dozen Ruths and Gehrigs and kept one of each that hung framed on the wall for at least 20 years before he sold them. Sometimes it's hard to take the salesman out of the collector/store owner. I'll post what I find out soon.

Just asked him, yes he did have a complete set of 33 Goudey signed. I was wrong about the Ruth and Gehrig, there were 12 of each! He said he sold hem for $400 each!!!!! He said the Lajoie was dated 1934 on the card in Nap's hand. He said there are definitely no others he has ever seen or heard of. He said Bill Mastro bought it and didn't know it was in the Hall of Fame. He said he bought a signed 1933 Who's Who with hundreds of autographs and the guy GAVE him the Lajoie card for free.

Amazing, thanks for posting!

Tony,
Thanks for posting! I'd love to talk with your dad! The Lajoie was actually dated 1936 and sold for $25k back in 1999. It was part of the Barry Halper Collection that was sold by Sotheby's. The signed Lajoie is in their catalog which you can get for a few bucks on eBay. The winner put it back up for auction the next year and Barry Halper bought it back and gave it to the Hall of Fame.

You can see the card here: https://twitter.com/baseballhall/sta...16584534081536

My best,

This just gets better and better. There aren't too many UNSIGNED Lajoie's around, are there?

[martyesullivan]

Hank,
You're right...I think there are about 100 Lajoie cards in all of the population reports. Of course, those are unsigned!

I knew your dad thru SCD adds. He was well known. We collectors from the 70’s bought & sold cards for Miuch less then today, we were collectors, but that’s how it was. We were happy then , now not so much. Lol joe

Tony:

Say hi to your dad for me. We had dinner together along with John Rumeriez two Chicago Nationals ago. The three of us shared "war stories" from the early 70's shows and trades etc.

Spoke to him at the last National at his table a few times over the days of the show.

Thanks to everyone that has messaged me. I was able to add a few more from the Uncle Jimmy Collection this week.

I'm still trying to track down these three from the Uncle Jimmy Collection. If you have them, or know where they are at, please message me:

Jess Petty, Frank Hogan, and Jim Bottomley.

If you have a signed 1933 Goudey, message me please. I'm always trying to upgrade when I can. I have a few extras too if you're looking for someone, let me know.

Thanks,
Marty S.

You guys are great! I found the Frank Hogan! I'm happy to add that upgrade to my collection.

If anyone knows where any signed 1933 Goudey cards from the Uncle Jimmy Collect are, please let me know. I'd love to add his Jess Petty and Jim Bottomley to my set but would consider any of his cards!

Thanks!
