One thing I have wondered is why the World Wide Gum issue, which is rarer than they Goudy does not sell for as much.

I will venture to guess that the demand for those WWG cards is lower due to the dual language write-ups on the backs, and most collectors only want to see
English without the additional French. Just my guess.

I have a bunch of '34s too, but here are my '33s . . .

Kind of an outlier to my set...from a condition standpoint...don't see one this nice too often.

Here are my two copyright cards

I've a few that are autographed. Like the copyright cards, I bought these without realizing they were auto'd or had a copyright. Probably in a group lot? From Ebay or a local show in the 1990s

I am loving all of these '33 Goudey images, they are the cards that brought me back into collecting a number of years ago.
I was actually not even aware of the older cards at the time, probably 15-20 years ago. I was taking guitar lessons from a guy and his dad said he had some cards he wanted to show me. I'm thinking these could really be good, maybe some early 50's Topps with a Mantle and others. Well he brought me the proverbial cigar box filled with his cards and lo and behold there were 145 '33 Goudeys as well as some '34's, '36's and a couple of '38's. Also some Diamond Stars from '34- '36 and Wide Pens from '36.
To make a fairly long story short, the gentleman eventually passed away and when his son (my guitar instructor) was liquidating some of his dad's things I asked about the cards and we were able to come to a price and the cards became mine.
That brought me to Net54 and I now have 226/240 of the set. Hoping I can share an image or two but I'm a bit out of practice inserting these.
