The final release from Goudey, 1941 Goudey Baseball is not the strongest effort from the company, but the colorful look makes it stand out. Led by Hall of Fame players Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott, there are actually four versions of each card and several short prints.
Led by Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller, Hank Greenberg and Jimmie Foxx, 1938 Goudey Baseball marked a strong return for the brand after several down years. The cartoon design makes the 48-card set easy to recognize.
1936 Goudey Baseball is a black-and-white release that features a card game as part of the 25-card set. The small checklist includes key cards for Hank Greenberg and Mickey Cochrane.
1935 Goudey Baseball features a four-in-one design that can be combined to form a larger image with the card backs. The clear favorite card in the set includes Babe Ruth and is one of the last cardboard options from his active player career.
A multi-sport set for the ages, 1933 Sport Kings is visually appealing and loaded with Hall of Fame talent from multiple athletic arenas. The baseball subjects, including Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, are the most popular, but Jim Thorpe and Bobby Jones are among many of the other sought-after non-baseball cards.
1933 Goudey Baseball was the first baseball card set ever to be paired with bubblegum and sold by the pack. It remains a favorite among collectors to this day and is headlined by a number of Hall of Fame rookie cards.
