I thought goudey has 3 printings:1)239 1933 goudeys 2) the lajoies 3) 34 goudey set. Obviously I am wrong...

The Lajoie wasn't availible until 1934. This sheet layout has been known for a long time. I remember reading about it 20 or so years ago

So goudey onll has 2 printings? One for the 33s and other for the 34s which included the lajoie?

The 1933 GOUDEY set comprises of 239 cards which were printed on ten 24-card sheets. The #144 Babe Ruth card was Double-Printed.
There was NO card of Lajoie available in 1933.

In the Summer of 1934, GOUDEY printed the Lajoie (#106) card on their High # series sheet (as shown here). Collectors of 1933 Goudey
cards could write a letter to GOUDEY (Boston, Mass) and request this Lajoie card.

Does anyone know if the 1934 Goudey high numbered sheet was printed WITHOUT the Lajoie? If so, was it a 6 x 4 configuration, or perhaps was one of the cards double printed? And has anyone noted any of the 1934 high numbers to be more readily available?

The 96 card set would suggest four 24 card sheets. If they were printed in sheets of 25, then there are three double prints. Does anybody know which cards they are?

The first 72 cards of the 1934 GOUDEY set were printed on 24-card sheets.

To change the Hi # card's sheet to a 25-card format to include Lajoie must of been quite a modification for Goudey.

Over the years I put together 2 complete 1934 GOUDEY sets; and, I can tell you that the 24 Hi #'s were tougher to find than the Low #'s.

It's my experience that the 12 lower Hi #'s with the "Chuck Klein says" comments (on bottom of each card) are somewhat tougher to find
than the 12 upper Hi #'s with "Lou Gehrig says".

Thanks Ted, that's interesting. To have to change the size and format of the sheets in midstream is quite an undertaking.

[tedzan]

Maybe not such a major change in in Goudey's format sheet format.

Because their 1936 BB set consists of 25 cards. I cannot speak for the 1935 BB set, as you know, it is too complex with all its front / back permutations.

I have 2 sets as well and completely agree about the Chuck Klein says cards...

[brianp-beme]

A question...does this mean that the only known complete sheets of the 1934 Goudey high numbers contain the Lajoie, or are there any out there without Lajoie? I always assumed that Goudey did a special, limited printing run with the Lajoie. If it was a full production run with the Lajoie on every sheet, wouldn't it have been a nightmare/incredibly impractical to sort out the Lajoie cards after they had been cut?
