Interesting to figure how Goudey arrived at the only Red Sox inclusion of Emerson in the set. At least you can collect the different colors

Ted-
Any theory as to why Ott and Hubbell could be in the Goudey set while under contract with Playball and Williams, Joe D, Foxx, et al could not?

It's not the most aesthetically pleasing set but it does have some nuances that makes it fun to collect- the 4 different colors with varying levels of scarcity plus the short prints make it challenging.

They must have employed 3 years old kids to cut these up too

Ive seen many bad "diamond cuts" (see Ott below).

And even a few "Super Miscut" cards with the players name and card number at the top of the image (bottom border was cut on the black line).

Hubbell and Ott were Giants' stars, perhaps that was why ? Really, I don't know.

There is no-way that anyone can figure out this set. Yes, the 4 color variations are a challenge that I attempted once (after
finally acquiring Joe Sullivan to complete a set of Yellows). Then I had partial sets of the Blue, Green, and Red versions, when
I came to my senses and realized that collecting these cards borders on insanity. So, I sold them all.
