Here's a simulated arrangement of 1933 Goudey's to illustrate the "World Series" sheet (10th sheet) which was printed in mid October, the cards were issued
in November 1933. The bios on the backs of them reflect the 1933 World Series between the NY Giants and Washington.







This diagram of the 10th sheet tells the story when the remaining 15 (of the 16) mysterious lower numbered cards where finally issued.







This was a clever marketing trick that Goudey played in order to sell a lot of cards in 1933......but, it was also a "mean" trick on the collectors.
