1933 Goudey Gum Co. Baseball

[Touch'EmAll]

Great looking Ruth! That's how you roll, very nice for the grade.

Let's round out the Ruths and throw in a Lajoie on the side and some Gehrigs for dessert!!

The bio on the 2nd Hubbell indicates that the card was issued after the 1933 World Series.

Much of the same info is on the 1934

Great goudey’s ! Here’s my Ruth

[DeanH3]

Nice stuff guys. Tough act to follow.

Edited to add: Very timey post Leon. I just happen to have these two guys out and looking at them.

The 1933 Goudey set has quite a few notch or ten down from the pinnacle of baseball stardom and glory that I really like. Here is one that just sings to me.

My pre-war collection is supposed to be limited to players in Washington uniforms. But this fringe big leaguer elbowed his way in. He served as a ball boy for the Washington Senators before playing eight seasons in MLB, mostly with the St. Louis Browns. He was born in Washington and 30 years later was struck and killed by a streetcar in Washington. He played for the Browns for seven seasons, including the start of the 1933 season. Nevertheless, he is shown here playing for the Albany -- wait for it -- Senators.

Here are some Pirates

[GeoPoto]

Casey or Leo or somebody supposedly said something like: "Moe was fluent in eight languages, but he couldn't hit in any of 'em."

When his White Sox manager ran out of catchers and asked the team if anyone could catch, Moe (then a young infielder) said "I used to think so." The manager, Ray Schalk said: "Who told you you couldn't?" Moe's answer: "My high school coach." Schalk said: "Prove him wrong!". Moe caught for 13 seasons in MLB.

That Lajoie is great, are those scrapes along the front? They look too crisp and straight to be folds. Looks like someone raked it, very cool.

A common, but this was my first R card of any kind. General Crowder was a star when the card was issued, leading the AL in wins in 1932 and 1933 as a workhorse. He got his nickname after General Enoch Crowder, and his own military service in the Philippines and Siberia. Most sources say he learned to play ball in the army, an awfully late in life start for a guy who made the majors.

Wright had an unassisted triple play.

Greg... First R card??? The first R card I ever got was probably a 1964 Topps.


Here are a couple of Goudeys, some folks think they'd grade with a crooked number.

I might be technically wrong because I don’t know when the Topps cards stopped getting R numbers. I may have had some 80’s Topps cards before this Goudey, but this Goudey I got before I got any 50’s through 70’s Topps cards. I was really young, mostly collecting current football (late 90’s) at the time when I saw it and thought it was really cool because it was a painting, the baggy uniform. I couldn’t have been older than maybe 7 or 8.

The Lajoie has some minor paper loss along the fold lines, and looks like it was folded extremely tightly when you have it in hand.

How about a crate to store all this awesomeness!!

Pair of mine

Just to show a range of artistic ability on display. Not all the artwork is excellent, which is like some other larger vintage sets (T206 is a good example). Personally for me the cards with the heavier outlining on body and especially the head are usually less appealing.
