1933 Goudey Baseball

1933 Goudey 240-card set, color-printed. Ruth (4 cards), Gehrig (2), and Lajoie #106 (added later as substitute) are headliners.

Set structure and Lajoie #106

240 numbered cards. #106 Napoleon Lajoie was retroactively added in 1934 to fulfill complete-set claims. Most copies signed/sent direct to buyers — extremely scarce.

Lajoie #106 in PSA 8 ~$300-500K. PSA 9 only ~5-10 known.

Other key cards

• Babe Ruth (4 cards: #53, #144, #149, #181): PSA 8 $200-450K each
• Lou Gehrig (#92, #160): PSA 8 $80-150K
• Jimmie Foxx, Mel Ott, Lefty Grove HOFers: PSA 8 $20-80K

Grading approach

SGC and PSA both viable. PSA pop slightly higher on Goudey — auction premium 1.1-1.3× SGC at same grade for premier cards.
