1939 Playball Gehrig, 1934 Goudey Ruth, and other cards that never were

[Robextend]

The 1936 Goudey set is only 25 cards, so there are many HOF omissions from that set. Feller and DiMaggio are featured in the 199 card Goudey Wide Pen set.

Although I am not sure why Gehrig is featured in the 1936 Canadian Goudey WWG set and not in the Wide Pen set.

My guess is some stars were held back for additional series depending how well the first packs sold which probably wasn't very good since America was in a depression.

I think that DeLong probably just didn't have enough money to print a bigger set. Their company was an upstart that year. I've always been fascinated with that set, so many HOF's, so few cards.

Just about any 50's Topps Musial card, 58, 57, and 58 in particular.
