1935 Goudey - A "puzzling" set (Let's see some completed puzzles)

John, congrats on completing another puzzle. You are right about the prices. When I started on the set, prices were like you said, but like everything else last year, they went up considerably. At least you already have your Ruth card.

Thanks Jay!

Every time I review this thread I’m always amazed at how quickly you were able to assemble your master set. Not an easy project!

I definitely paid more than I wanted to for the last few short prints that I needed, but at that point, I just wanted to complete the set. That's often the case with my sets - the last few cards tend to be higher in price than I would otherwise be willing to pay for them when I am not close to finishing the set.

I have this hanging on my office wall.

Very cool looking. If I remember correctly, you can complete 4 puzzles and have a complete set of 32 different fronts (if you buy the right back versions) which it looks like is what you did.

I think that’s correct. I cheated though - I bought this already framed from REA in 2017. It seemed to have been passed over for most of the auction and I was looking for some wall art, so it was “right place at the right time”.

Cool that it was framed with the backs visible.
