That Lajoie is great, are those scrapes along the front? They look too crisp and straight to be folds. Looks like someone raked it, very cool.

A common, but this was my first R card of any kind. General Crowder was a star when the card was issued, leading the AL in wins in 1932 and 1933 as a workhorse. He got his nickname after General Enoch Crowder, and his own military service in the Philippines and Siberia. Most sources say he learned to play ball in the army, an awfully late in life start for a guy who made the majors.

Wright had an unassisted triple play.

Greg... First R card??? The first R card I ever got was probably a 1964 Topps.


Here are a couple of Goudeys, some folks think they'd grade with a crooked number.

I might be technically wrong because I don’t know when the Topps cards stopped getting R numbers. I may have had some 80’s Topps cards before this Goudey, but this Goudey I got before I got any 50’s through 70’s Topps cards. I was really young, mostly collecting current football (late 90’s) at the time when I saw it and thought it was really cool because it was a painting, the baggy uniform. I couldn’t have been older than maybe 7 or 8.

When I think of squatty catchers, I think of this 1933 Goudey of Virgil 'Spud' Davis. A great depiction, but also unusual in that his catcher's mask, in my opinion, makes his face look like that of a monkey.

The Lajoie has some minor paper loss along the fold lines, and looks like it was folded extremely tightly when you have it in hand.

Just to show a range of artistic ability on display. Not all the artwork is excellent, which is like some other larger vintage sets (T206 is a good example). Personally for me the cards with the heavier outlining on body and especially the head are usually less appealing.

Tths set comprises of ten 24-card sheets. The 10th sheet is very interesting, it was printed after the 1933 World Series, and includes players from Washington
and the N.Y. Giants. What is more interesting is that 15 cards are numbered with lower numbers that were omitted in the earlier issues.
These cards were issued Circa November 1933.

From my set, I have arranged these cards to exactly simulate this 24-card sheet..........








This diagram of the 10th sheet tells the story when the remaining 15 (of the 16) mysterious lower numbered cards where finally issued.
