Looking for these signed 1933 Goudey cards…HELP!

Hi Marty, congratulations on your achievements so far! What an undertaking. I only have 3 signed 33 Goudey's. I'm waiting to get them back from PSA but the grades popped today. I think maybe the Red Kress is pretty rare as it only has a pop of 4 in PSA. Thought I would share with you.

Strangely, Kress is the only 33 I have (not that I've ever gone after them). It's not slabbed and never will be as long as I own it.

Hey Billy, that's quite the coincidence! Since Kress died in 1962 I wouldn't think there would be a lot of these around - or not very many people get them graded. I've got a lot of autographed cards, but most are ungraded. I'm considering selling a lot of my collection in the next few years and wanted to get some of the pre 1940 cards authenticated and encased. As you can see from my Kress card, it has seen a lot of love already by the wear and tear!

Mine looks much better than yours on the front, but has a vintage, 1930's chewing gum wrapper affixed to the back for some reason! I think that trying to remove it would only risk compromizing the fountain pen autograph, so will leave it be. Besides, it's aesthetically cool as it is with the wrapper!

ISO #124 Whitehill if anyone ever sees one.
