Description
1933 Goudey Baseball Near Set (236/239) - With Ruth! An all-time hobby classic. With the tremendous artwork, colors and Hall of Fame checklist it's easy to see why the 1933 Goudey Baseball set reigns supreme over all early gum issues. With multiple cards featuring Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig along with names like Fox, Hornsby, and Hubbell this pre-war release has thrilled collectors for generations and we don't see that enthusiasm waning anytime soon. This offered near-complete set, missing just three cards, is a wonderful example of a nostalgic trip down memory lane when baseball was a wonderful distraction from the difficulties many American's faced during the 30's. A total of ten cards have been graded by SGC. Approximately one quarter of these cards have a light pencil mark on the reverse. Missing #'s 53 Ruth, 149 Ruth, 181 Ruth.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
