Hey Barry,

Chuck Klein "says", too... he's on some of the 1935 Goudeys, and is in 1936, too. I don't think he's in 1938. But ol' Chuck was on a dozen of those 1934s, Lou was on 84... Maybe Lou wanted money, maybe other players ragged him about being on all the cards so he said no to being on any. Both are wild speculation, but given Lou's reputation as a good guy that last one seems the more likely of the two...

Dizzy Dean was the big name then, he's at the end of the 1933 Goudey's, in 1934 and 1935... but not in 36 or 38. I'd figure him for the biggest name in baseball at the time.

Frank.
