[Breakaway Dealz]

Hi,
I’ve been browsing some different sets from the 30’s & came across this one
1938 Goudey Gum Heads Up

I’ve looked on eBay and saw that it seems to have 2 different designs on these cards…such as

I love the design of these. I favour the ones with the small drawings on the 4 corners.
We’re there 2 different sets made for these cards? If you have any additional info I’d be interested in.
thanks!

High numbers have the cartoons (#s 265-288) and there's a couple guys in both the high/low series (around 25). Was just probably something they thought would add value/demand when releasing the second series as it makes them "different" from the low series.

Random question: did/do you really need to use text speak to save a few letters in typing out a thread heading? Genuinely curious. I guess it obviously did catch my eye.

People on here do not know about 1938 Goudeys....bring a legit question to the guys over at net54.

Au contraire mon frère :coffee:

we here at Blowout know our stuff, some more than others. come on now, a little respect my guy

if you want real help, post this over in the "vintage" forum, not in this one. :)!

and to answer the original question, yes, there were two different sets in the 38' Goudy set. the tougher pull is the one showing the drawings and stats.

It’s a 48 card set. The players in the first 24 (241-264) are the same as in the second 24 (265-288), and as you said, the second 24 has extra cartoonish additions. There are some error cards. Ernie Lombardi comes to mind.

It’s a great set. Might be tough to find especially if you are grade-sensitive and want consistency in your set.

Thanks so much for answering my ques. I really like the cartoon drawings. It makes the set very unique.
thanks again for all of your help!
