1934 Goudey Baseball Card Set & Price Guide
1934 Goudey Set Description
Goudey followed up their extremely popular 1933 set with a watered down lineup in 1934. The number of cards in the set was trimmed from 240 to 96 total cards. Babe Ruth, who had 4 different cards in the 1934 set, was left out of the '34 set. Gone were star players having multiple cards, with Lou Gehrig being the lone exception (he had 2 cards). The design of the fronts and backs are similar, and some of the same images were re-used. The big difference in this set was hiring Lou Gehrig as a spokesmen. Instead of the Goudey red banner on the bottom border of the card, Lou's face appears on 84 of the 96 cards in the set. Next to his face reads "Lou Gehrig Says" in cursive. The back of the card has a write up about the player in green font. Cards 85-96 feature another star hall of famers image on the bottom border; Chuck Klein.
