1933 Goudey Gum Co. Baseball

[Leon]

We need a card thread!! Let's see some 1933 Goudeys...

Here is my only one but I wouldn't mind picking up a few more. (Ruth's or not.)

[Touch'EmAll]

Great looking Ruth! That's how you roll, very nice for the grade.

[BabyRuth]

Let's round out the Ruths and throw in a Lajoie on the side and some Gehrigs for dessert!!

[Exhibitman]

The bio on the 2nd Hubbell indicates that the card was issued after the 1933 World Series.

Much of the same info is on the 1934

[Mjpadilla84]

Great goudey’s ! Here’s my Ruth

[DeanH3]

Nice stuff guys. Tough act to follow.

Edited to add: Very timey post Leon. I just happen to have these two guys out and looking at them.

My two terrible Hack Wilsons

[rats60]

Here are some Pirates

[GeoPoto]

Casey or Leo or somebody supposedly said something like: "Moe was fluent in eight languages, but he couldn't hit in any of 'em."

When his White Sox manager ran out of catchers and asked the team if anyone could catch, Moe (then a young infielder) said "I used to think so." The manager, Ray Schalk said: "Who told you you couldn't?" Moe's answer: "My high school coach." Schalk said: "Prove him wrong!". Moe caught for 13 seasons in MLB.

That Lajoie is great, are those scrapes along the front? They look too crisp and straight to be folds. Looks like someone raked it, very cool.

[G1911]

A common, but this was my first R card of any kind. General Crowder was a star when the card was issued, leading the AL in wins in 1932 and 1933 as a workhorse. He got his nickname after General Enoch Crowder, and his own military service in the Philippines and Siberia. Most sources say he learned to play ball in the army, an awfully late in life start for a guy who made the majors.

[RCMcKenzie]

Wright had an unassisted triple play.

The Lajoie has some minor paper loss along the fold lines, and looks like it was folded extremely tightly when you have it in hand.

Since I can't get to my Goudey cards just now, I found this on line and thought it appropriate for a 1933 Goudey thread.

This display hangs behind the desk in my home office. I'm now down to three Ruth's to complete my Goudey HOF subset.

[rjackson44]

Terrific bill i own like 5 hofers will never sell love the artwork

[JimmyC]

I've never owned any '33 Goudeys.....Have owned different pre war cards over the years.....If I ever go back and collect this era, the '33s would be the first set / cards to tackle.....beautiful cards....and beautiful pics you guy have posted!

Bill, your Dean is a blazer. Color me jealous.

[cgjackson222]

1933 Goudey has so many cards of great Players.

Set has 240 cards, and I think 64 of those are of Hall of Famers including the duplicate images of Foxx and Gehrig and the multiple images of Ruth, Manush, Cronin and others.

There are 49 different Hall of Famers in total I believe, including the retired Lajoie, Collins and Speaker, which is way more than the T206 set has.

One thing I have wondered is why the World Wide Gum issue, which is rarer than they Goudy does not sell for as much.

Hey Guys

Shown here is my real life connection with this Goudey set.

Frank O'Rourke coached our High School BB team (Elizabeth, NJ) during the 1950's.

I was a Right-Fielder (or Left-Fielder) because I had a great glove and had a very strong and accurate throwing arm.
My hitting, at best, was intermittent.

Thank you, David. Seems like I should have seen that SABR article before now. My favorite sentence was his "The already knew what I did not."

And the sheet 10 cards do have an update in information on the back.

Ted, as to your connection... "intermittent at best," surely that's an understatement.

Ted,

I think you're doing yourself a disservice. I'm sure the Yankees could've used you last season, as I'm sure you would've been better than Aaron Hicks!

[brianp-beme]

Sheet #9 (card numbers 97-99, 128-129, 142, and 214-241) has many of the cards that feature my favorite artwork seen in the Goudey set.

Brian (lordy no not mine)

[SAllen2556]

Can someone explain something that has always bugged me about Goudeys: some cards seem to meticulously reproduce team names on both the uniforms and the hats, while others are conspicuously missing any team insignia at all. I love the Gehringer card but I wish his cap had the old English D on it.

Any reason why so many players are missing their team names on uniforms and caps? If it were today you'd think they hadn't paid for the rights to use the team names.

[Exhibitman]

That's a really interesting sheet, Brian. I realize when looking at it that most of my favorites from the set are on there.

Trimmed to the border 1933 and 1934 Goudeys, all no longer mine...but I still have the artsy photo.

Brian

[puckpaul]

Love 33 Goudeys! Maybe my favorite set (…uh, except the M101-1s and T3s and the others i love).

Always drawn to these cards…Al Simmons and the pink/purple Gehringer.

[refz]

I’ll throw some more in to keep this going. I love this set!

[CardPadre]

Best pals.

[tedzan]

First and Last cards in this set. Tough to find in Ex (or better) condition.

And, I'll jazz up this O'Doul post with one of his early PCL cards.

Ted's O'Doul post spurred me to share a printing error example in an issue that printing miscues are rarely seen.

[alywa]

These are my two prettiest.

Brian....tis very true. GOUDEY's Quality Assurance was pretty darn good. After sorting thru several 100's of 1933 GOUDEY
cards throughout the years to complete my set, this Manush is the only printing error I came across. It's missing blue ink.
