Count me in as a one card short '33 Goudey collector as well (I don't count the 1933/34 Lajoie).
I put together the entire set in 2021 minus one card, the yellow Ruth. I didn't care about centering, corners, etc. my main OCD was brightness/cleanness of the background colors. All of the yellow background cards were tough for me to find in non-dirty condition, and so the Ruth became my white whale. I kept thinking a nice looking A would pop up for a reasonable price but it didn't happen and then I ended up waiting too long as prices kept going up. I've since moved on to other sets and my collecting focus has changed somewhat, sometimes I wonder if perhaps I'll always be one card short.
