I collected the 1933 Goudey set about fifteen years ago. Bought them one and two at a time off eBay, cracked them out and put them in a cool Roop binder. Even found a low grade Lajoie to complete the set. Only one was autographed but it was a good 'un, the #92 Gehrig elegantly signed in pencil. Sold it to some lucky fellow in the first LOTG auction. There have been a couple of big waves of signed '33 Goudeys in auctions in the past few years. Love the fact that they are good old-fashioned pen signatures and not slapdash Sharpies. For the heck of it I picked up a Charlie Root card. Always liked him and am firmly in his court regarding the 1932 Ruth "called shot". He said "If I thought he called his shot I'd have put one in his ear" or words to that effect. Good enough for me.

Will look forward to the publication of your book. Keep us updated on its availability.
