damn you guys!
I swore I wouldn't get into these cards when I started selling that stuff for my dad.....but when I had some of my grandfather's old Goudeys holdered by PSA I really loved the look of those cards.
These aren't high dollar ones or anything but a small start.

I fight that same urge nearly every day. I've been limiting myself to the hall of famers, but a couple of days ago, I bid on and won a Charlie Root card from the '33 set. I'm tellin' myself that he's a special case since he's the pitcher who gave up The Babe's "called shot" in the '33 World Series, but I'm just not sure if that's gonna be able to stop me from going further down the road of craziness

Steve, here are a couple other interesting tidbits of non-HOF players/cards from the set:
67 Guy Bush, gave up Babe Ruth's 714th and last HR.
78 Jack Quinn, the only player to be shown in both the T206 and the 1933 Goudey set as a player. Eddie Collins, Napoleon Lajoie and Tris Speaker were also in both sets, but they weren't active players when featured in the Goudey set
158 Mo Berg, he was a backup catcher and did nothing special on the field. But he was a spy for the U.S. during WWII and led an unusualy life. "The Catcher is a Spy" was written about him.
184 Charley Berry, I am not completely sure, but in my limited research, I believe he is the same Charley Berry that is in the College Football Hall of Fame.

As for you goose - good luck! You're hooked now.
You're NOT helping
Actually, I was aware of Moe Berg's claim to fame and have thought of picking up one of his cards. I wasn't aware though of the others you mentioned...Thanks!
Edited to add: Quinn could be a particular problem, as T206 is my other collecting "albatross". It is in fact, even MORE of a problem for me to limit my collection, as it's the only set I like more than '33 Goudey! I have all the T206 HOFers (except Wagner and Plank), and can't even imagine trying to collect all T206's

The pictured cards are enroute from him!!! The scoundrel!!!
I must say, Damn those are some nice scans you take Cmoking!
HI... I am new to this forum but have been reading the blogs for months and figured nows the time to get involved with my 2 cents.
This is a great set and I am glad to share my set with all those that have been afraid to start this challenging set. I was a collector in the 70-90's then got out when the sets out numbered the players. Now with the advent of the "bay", I have the opportunity to collect at a reasonable price.
So for those of you that think that it is unreasonable to get this set (90%+), I invite you to check out my cards at "poormans 33" on the 33 goudey registry (#22 ranked). These are not the best cards but what I can afford. As a kid it was all about the card and not the condition. So, this set is for the "baseball kid" in all of us!!!
I am still upgrading and filling the holes in the set.
So, enjoy the cards and I will be seeing you all around.

It's interesting that S D Irelands set is closed, yet his '33 goudey HOF set is open.

Just amazing cards.
