My Signed 1933 Goudey Collection - Any Uncle Jimmy Collection Winners Here?

[martyesullivan]

Thanks, Mark! I've been a fan of your set and have followed your progress for a while. You can't imagine how many times I've found signed 34's on eBay and thought, "That's cool, and cheap, I should get it!" but somehow I've resisted the urge.

Not sure how much longer I can hold out though...maybe I'll go for 50 from 1934...that should be easy!

Wow congrats 200 is very impressive. I wanted to own one of the cards from the collection so I went after one that spoke to me Which was the 1933 Kamm. I think the quality of the autograph and placement is superb. Joe

Joe!
You are correct, that Kamm is a beauty. It would have been a nice upgrade for me but I realized once the auction started that there would be no chance for me to go after upgrades. I had to focus on the few that I really needed. That said, we are all just caretakers of these cards, so whenever you're ready to part with Kamm, let me know. If I'm still in the game, I'd love to have it.

All the best to you and congrats on the great pickup!

Thank you. I am excited to see it in hand soon. Joe

I completely agree....

Kamm was my favorite in the entire auction, in terms of the perfect looking autograph and overall aesthetics. If I hadn't blown my wad earlier in the month, I might have given you a run for the money.

Congrats!

Marty,
Thanks for the kind words.
You have my official permission to buy 34 goudeys as long as you dont buy any i need or bid against me in any auctions. Lol
Actually getting to 50 should not be that difficult. There are a fair amount of common players both HOF and Non that are readily available. I might have a couple dupes if you want.
Good luck if you try.
Best,
Mark

Although I'm close on the 52 topps, 407 still seems a long way away. It seems like years ago, getting to 200 seemed impossible. Needless to say, I wont be doing any prewar signed sets!

Amazing work, Marty!

Thanks in part to Sean I was close to 100 when I threw in the towel and sold them off.

I will always love seeing signed '33 Goudeys though! Great set.

I picked up the Jack Quinn. Tough signature on a card for a guy who was the only player active when his card was issued both in T206 and 1933 Goudey. It was also a card Jason May never got, largely because Quinn died in 1946.

Probably never gonna see a signed T206 Quinn, so I make up other rules to get the signatures of T206 players on any card from their playing days.

And, for the record, I have 41 different signed T206 poses. I’ll likely never get to 50. I’ve only identified a total of 57 in existence.

Marty I wish I had known you were in Mt. Ida, I am just a short drive away. Would have loved to show you around the old spring training sites in the area.

[martyesullivan]

Paul,
I have Jack Quinn. I actually got it from Jason May, so he had it. If I remember correctly, he uncovered a nice collection out of Texas after he had already submitted his cards to REA. Fortunately, I was able to get many of those.


Mike,
My family has been in Arkansas since the 1820's. I live in Little Rock, so I know all the Hot Springs haunts. We checked out the HOF photo exhibit that is on loan to the Convention Center. Pretty neat. I'm sure our paths will cross one day. I'm a big fan of your research and would love for you to see my collection one day.

My best,
Marty S.
