NM-MT+ 8.5 - 1 card
MINT 9 - 9 cards
I could be wrong, but if memory serves, Jefferson Burdick received an envelope during the era the cards were released directly from Goudey with at least 10 Lajoies, and he dispersed most to prominent collectors at the time, including Lionel Carter. This would account for a number of the high grade examples in the hobby.
..... again, I could be remembering this wrong.

It makes me wonder how many of those should rightfully be graded "Authentic". That is a ridiculous percentage for a 1933 issue, no matter how they were dispersed.
