Indeed - nicest I've seen. The 2nd nicest signed Goudey I've seen was sold by a board member a few months ago; it was a Hubbell signed in Blue Sharpie. |

I discussed this card a little bit on my website and I will elaborate more here. I truly enjoy collecting pre-WWI signed cards, particularly signed T206 cards, and found this one very tempting. I strongly considered expanding my signed card collection into the 1930s with this one, but a few things held me back: |

Much, much cheaper and more plentiful than the others shown, but I won this HOFer in a Mike Gutierrez auction a few years back. |

Wow! I love that Whitehill! The Cuyler is nice too, but I've seen another one. I have never seen a Whitehill. There were TWO Tommy Thevenow's on eBay within a few weeks of each other. He died in 1957, but I've seen three or four. I've seen a John Quinn (D. 46), Johnny Welch (D. 40), but the best one I've ever owned personally was an Ed Brandt (D. 44). My vote for the most beautiful 33 is one of Eddie Collins that traded hands about twenty times at one Ft. Washington show! Runner-up is a perfect Tris Speaker--never seen another one. |

Oh yeah, I think I've seen that Lazzeri too. And I forgot to mention I actually saw an Earl Clark signed. He died in 1938. Without looking, I'm fairly certain that Clark is the earliest death in the set, so it's pretty remarkable that even one card was signed. |

Paul - not sure about the 1933 Goudey set but I believe Bill Werber is still alive who was in the '34 Goudey set. |

I have written rough drafts for two books, but life has been so hectic over the last 15 years that I haven't had time to go back and edit. Yes, I have interviewed all those players, as well as over 100 more. Only a few are still with us, unfortunately. Talking with the guys who played back in the 1920's-50's, it is easy to see why I have ZERO interest in the modern-day game. Nearly all of the men I interviewed were true gentlemen and a pleasure to be around. I interviewed players in trailer parks, mansions, cars, restaurants, and even found one walking around a city park! Often times, the "story behind the story" was much more interesting than the actual interview. Other times, a player might say, "Well, I don't think I have anything interesting to tell you", then floor me with stories that none of us knew about! One of these days I'll get my act together and publish something. I find it very disillusioning that books like these have been "done to death", however, so that probably explains why I haven't done more with the material. I have ideas on how to "freshen up" what to me has become a fairly stale genre, though. Danny Peary found a way to revitalize the movement several years back--unfortunately, we interviewed many of the same men within months of each other, and he was more committed to his project than I was to mine. I was still in school at the time, so I guess you could say that my writings had to be placed on the back burner. Such is life. Incidentally, T206Collector's current undertaking has been an idea of mine for the past fifteen years, but he beat me to it! He has done very well with his interviews, and I commend him for it. |

Yes, Lonny is still alive. I have visited him twice in Idaho--one of my favorites! Just a class act. The last time I saw him, he told me that he had had a stroke. He didn't realize it at the time, so he simply "went to bed" for three days!!! He felt fine when he woke up--the doctors are still shaking their heads at that one! |

Meaningless, but nonetheless interesting, fact about Werber and Frey, is that these surviving ironmen played together in the same infield for some years |

Werber is also the last surviving teammate of Babe Ruth, the first Duke All-American in basketball and the first player to appear on TV during a live game. |

Jodi - was the '34 Ruth the World Wide Gum version or a different card (Ruth did not have a '34 Goudey)? |

As someone who has never been particularly interested in autographs ---a few years ago I was playing one hole behind Willie Mays at Harding Golf Course out here in San Francisco, got his autograph at the turn, and then gave it to my sister (and I'm a big Giants fan) --- I gotta admit that they look absolutely fantastic on the '33 Goudeys. Autographs often visually blend into modern photo cards, and, to me at least, they seem to overwhelm the smaller tobacco cards, but the size and vivid colors of the Goudeys really make the autograph stand out. Thanks to all who shared their images. Very cool. |

Sorry, it was the 1933 Goudey (batting) for Ruth. I'm not a card guy--I seem to recall from my card-collecting days it was #133--is that correct? I have enough to remember in regards to autographs and have not kept up my card knowledge in many years. |

those two were bought from gar miller over 20 years ago alogn with a few others. I have seen all 4 ruths and both gehrigs (and lajoie too). In fact, I have seen every hall of famer in this set signed which leads me to believe it is possible to get a complete set |

Jodi - no problem - I just knew of a gentleman looking for a WWG signed Ruth and I ahd never heard of one existing so thought you may have seen one. |

That's right, Halper had the Lajoie. I guess all of our opinions as to "the most striking 1933 Goudey" are rendered moot by its very existence! I have never physically seen that one, though. Just photos of said. |

...a signed 1933 Goudey set is PLENTY difficult to complete. I certainly recognize that there are a whole boat load of players that died pre-1980. But coupled with the ability to get numerous copies of signed ones by players who died much more recently -- in a time when getting autographs on cards really came into vogue -- makes signed Goudeys less appealing to me. I guess they just become less of a bridge to a bygone era for me, since I don't consider the 1980's or 1990's particularly bygone. When I started collecting T206 cards 10 years ago, the idea that I could even consider getting a signed one seemed totally foreign. However, growing up I had seen Gehringer, among others, sign his 1933 Goudey card at shows in White Plains, my back yard. It just didn't seem so other-worldly. |
