About Charley Berry
Charles Francis "Charlie" Berry, born October 18, 1902, in Phillipsburg, New Jersey, was a right-handed-hitting catcher who broke in with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics in 1925 after an All-American football career at Lafayette College, where he was named to the 1924 Walter Camp All-America team as an end. After a detour through minor-league ball and a stint in the fledgling NFL with the Pottsville Maroons, he returned to the majors with the Boston Red Sox, then the Chicago White Sox in 1932 - the club shown on his 1933 Goudey card - before finishing his playing days back with the A's. Over 709 games he batted .267 with 23 home runs and 256 RBI. His best-known on-field moment came on April 22, 1931, when a home-plate collision with Babe Ruth left the Yankees slugger injured. Berry later became an American League umpire (1942-1962) and an NFL head linesman, officiating five All-Star Games and eleven NFL championship games, including 1958's famed sudden-death title contest.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Charley Berry card?
It is card #184 of the 1933 Goudey (R319) Baseball set - the 240-card, 2-3/8 by 2-7/8 inch color-art set issued in 1933 with Big League Chewing Gum. It pictures Charley Berry with the Chicago White Sox.
Is the 1933 Goudey Charley Berry #184 a rookie card?
By modern catalog convention, yes. 1933 Goudey is treated as the hobby's first major nationally distributed gum set, so nearly every card in it carries the rookie-card (RC) designation - a modern label applied retroactively, since many of these players had earlier tobacco, caramel, or strip cards.
How many cards are in the 1933 Goudey set?
240 numbered cards, though collectors usually count 241 collectible cards because #6 Jimmy Dykes exists in an error and a corrected version. Only 239 numbers were in 1933 packs - #106 (Nap Lajoie) was printed in 1934 and issued by mail.
