34 Goudey ???
Posted By: Dan Paradis
I was looking through some cards for a friend of mine today. I found what I thought was a 7 or 8 Hank Greenberg RC. However, after looking it over I'm now thinking it might be a reprint. Can anyone tell me if the reprint set has the words "reprint" anywhere on the back? I compared it to some other 34 Goudey's we found and the edges look to white to me. |

Dan, someone here certainly has an answer for you on whether or not the word 'reprint' is on the back; that being said, that card looks fake to me. |

Someone with more knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a good differentiator between fake/real '34 Goudey's is to look on the bottom by where it says "Lou Says." If the white lettering is just the absence of ink, then it is real, however, if that white lettering is actually tiny dots then it's a reprint since they just reprinted the whole image onto the card face. |

Looks too thin to me. Goudeys are on pretty thick cardboard - probably twice as thick as a Topps card. That could be one easy way to check. |

Thanks for the quick reponses. I'll check out the card more thoroughly tomorrow. We did find so other stuff (CJ's including 1914 Matty & Mack), some real nice football and boxing stuff, some OJ's (including Mack) and so much stuff it will take me days to sift through it. We spent 7 hours today and only went through about 1/2 of his stuff. |

I agree with Jeff and Jim. The borders look really white and the card (although tough to tell from the pics) does look a bit thin. But the one thing that really strikes out at me is the large borders. From the scans alone, I wouldn't touch it. |

easy to tell: hold the front of the card in front of a 60 watt light bulb , if it blocks the light it's real,if you can see thru the card and see the front, it's a rerint. by the pictures it looks like a reprint. |

I remember reading somewhere that the little mugshot of Gehrig at the bottom should have blue ink between it & the border. |

Thanks again everyone. I don't know how I am going to break it to him tomorrow! I did try to prepare him to the fact that the card might be fake, but because it didn't say reprint anywhere he didn't want to hear it. |

Obvious reprint, how about a scan of the back? |

Dan, get a black light. I think you'll see that 34 Greenberg fluoresce, it is not real. |

Who cares about the Greenburg, what you need to check out is if the Cracker Jack Matty is good. There is a mix of reprints in there as a 1958 Hires Mickey Mantle doesn't exist. |

I think, for many reasons, we've come to the conclusion that the Greenberg is a reprint. I'd like to see if we can establish a general set of guidelines for all '34 Goudeys: |

The Hires-looking Mantle card is a Baseball Cards Magazine "repli-card" created for insert into the October, 1988, issue. |

bump to see if any of the '34 Goudey experts can add any other "rules" besides what Frank suggested above. |

As I just mentioned in my other post, it was very obvious to tell the card was not real just holding it. |

Many reprints have the blue line under Gehrig's head and a non-cropped 'Y.' |

3 of these 4 have cropped 'y's and little or no line under Gehrig's head... |

Just noticed something. The little Lou Gehrig portrait apparently comes in two different versions. One is a bit more face on than the other. Wonder which is more common and why the difference? |

Ken - you found the same card with two different versions of Gehrig's head? |

Now if we can find the same card with the different Gehrig head variation? Then we have something here.. |

No. Sorry if that's what it sounded like. Different players. I only have two '34 Goudeys and both had the same Gehrig head. I had never noticed that there was another head before. |
