Heads up
It’s an odd but classic set!
I like the cartoons version better, and I think there was an old hobby myth that these “higher “ numbers were more difficult. I haven’t witnessed that at all, maybe the opposite! I have the full cartoon set. I am also half way finished with the lower number , bland version, but I have not been aggressively looking. Someday maybe they will become a higher priority. But I really do like them…heck I like ALL old baseball cards!

Al Lopez with cartoons #281 is my lone Heads Up.
Classic set, very recognizable, and the cartoon embellishments add to the fun style of the cards.

It's the only set I'm trying to complete. I love the huge heads.

I like that the 1938 Goudey cards look very distinctive...it is great to have a variety of vintage looks out there. I like both the clean design of the cards without cartoons and the busy ones with cartoons, but the cartoon cards get the slight nod, just because it is fun having the additional info on the player (we probably wouldn't know that Ducky was such a ping pong enthusiast without that cartoon).
I hadn't thought of it before, but it seems 1938 Goudeys quite possibly inspired Topps designers to include the cartoons seen later on in their issues as well. Brian

A friend of mine in grade school (we were about 8 or 9 at the time) told me he had $5K from family inheritance, and planned to buy Joe D's 38 Goudey Heads Up card (my first intro to the set). However when he asked his Mom which account the money was in, she said ''You're looking at it'' as they pulled into the driveway of a new commercial building she purchased with that as the down pmt. I always wondered if he ever bought it...
