1933 Goudey collectors here ?

[RGold]

I have been working on the set for six years. Three cards from completion. Gehrig #160, Ott #127 and Lajoie #106. Ott just takes finding the right one. Gehrig and Lajoie just take some major bucks.

I still have a bunch of upgrades to do, mostly some surprisingly hard to find commons. And two Ruths. More major bucks.

Count me in! I am 67 cards into the set. (39 of the 67 are HOF'ers) For the most part, I am concentrating on the PSA 4 level, but will probably make some exceptions with the more expensive cards. --definitely will get a reprint Lajoie-- For the most part this seems to be a completable, but I am curious and have a question for the people whom have completed or almost completed this set. Are there any of the 33 Goudey cards that were more difficult to find? I am talking about commons and or star players aside from the obvious higher dollar cards.

Every card in the set can be found in mid grade quite easily. There is no reason not to be selective regarding price and eye appeal. This is not a set where you need to grab any old card because you might not ever see another one.

Filling a hole, and then upgrading, will just cost you more money than is necessary. Just be patient.

Ron, fantastic '33's Congrats!
I especially love the dark blue backgrounds like your Cronin

Jay, I saw the Cronin scan and was going to make you an offer. But then I realized it was mine.

So far, I've limited myself to the hall of famers, and have all of them except Lajoie.
