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...

Wish I had gotten some of those before prices got out of hand.

I never gave the set too much thought until I acquired a few in a large group of cards I purchased at a local auction. Once in hand I found yet another hobby love. Eventually I'd like to complete the high # (cartoon) subset. Here's a few of mine.

Here is an interesting article that discusses the various Ernie Lombardi variations of 1938 Goudey and explains why I haven't been able to find the "Red Sox" variation in 30 years of searching.
