Produced by the Goudey Gum Company of Boston from 1933 to 1941, the “big league chewing gum” series of baseball players are among the most revered cards in the hobby. The pioneering effort was released in 1933 and is the undisputed king of the “R” designation in collecting interest. This scarcely offered set of (239) cards is widely considered to be complete as the nearly impossible #106 Lajoie shortprint was not released to the general public through gum packs. The approximate condition breakdown for this series is as follows: 10% (VG or better), 20% (GD), 35% (FR) and 35% (PR). Approximately 30-35% of the cards have a combination of wear frequent to the issue including surface paper loss, pin holes, trimming or writing. Highlights include #1 Bengough (FR), #2 Vance (VG), #29 Foxx (FR), #35 Simmons (GD), #53 Ruth (PR, reverse coloring), #63 Cronin (GD), #76 Cochrane (GD), #89 Speaker (GD), #92 Gehrig (FR, pin hole), #119 Hornsby (FR), #128 Klein (GD), #144 Ruth (PR, writing), #149 Ruth (Authentic, trimmed with added borders), #154 Foxx (FR), #160 Gehrig (GD), #181 Ruth (FR), #188 Hornsby (FR), #207 Ott (VG), #211 H. Wilson (VG), #220 Grove (PR) and #223 Dean (FR). More on our website.
