1936 Goudey R322 front/back combos

[DaveW]

Well I've scoured every Ebay auction as well as everywhere I could think of on the web and I've found 145 different front/back combos so far. I am beginning to think that there will be 168 combos, so I'd like to ask for some help. If you collect this set, could you look through your cards and send me a list of which fronts you have with which backs? If the back has Ball/Out, Foul/Ball or Strike/Ball then please give me the first 2 words of one of the plays so I can tell which back it is. Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it. I'll be happy to share any of my data or results with anybody that is interested.

p.s. Has anybody seen an uncut sheet of this set (or have a scan)? That would also help.

Thanks Steve and Bill for the info. I'm up to 147 front/back combos now.
Anybody else want to contribute to the advancement of knowledge?

Dave,

I will let you know what I have Saturday.

Thanks Brian - you had 6 new front/back combos for me! I'm now up to 152 different combos. Anybody else have any to contribute? Surely somebody must collect this set ......Yes, but don't call me Shirley!

Ok, I admit, I have this full set...maybe still a dupe or two.
I am pretty sure I even know which box it is in.
I should be able to compile my f/b combos for you this week

What I always thought strange was the player selection itself..lots of guys you wouldn't expect to be included in such a small set.

Anyway...I'll hit the closet as soon as I can!

[DaveW]

Brian - Thanks! Yes, the player selection is a bit of a mystery. I see that they got 1 or 2 guys from each of the teams and that most of them had been on an All Star team in the previous 3 years. But there are 4 or 5 guys that are really out of place. Is Frenchy Bordagaray (in only his 3rd year) really the best guy they could get from the Dodgers?

Bonura bunt(if man on 3rd)/stolen base

Thanks Rob! You had one new combo for me. I must be getting close since the new ones are getting harder to find.
