1933 Goudey #171 Charley Jamieson
About Charley Jamieson
Charles Devine Jamieson, a left-handed left fielder nicknamed "Cuckoo," broke into professional ball as a pitcher with the Buffalo Bisons in 1912 before converting to the outfield. He debuted in the majors with the Washington Senators in 1915, moved briefly to the Philadelphia Athletics, and found his lasting home with the Cleveland Indians from 1919 to 1932. A speedy contact hitter with an exceptional eye, Jamieson topped .300 eight times, peaking at .359 with 213 hits in 1924 (striking out just 15 times all season) and .345 with 222 hits in 1923. Over 18 major-league seasons and 1,779 games, he batted .303 with 1,990 hits, 552 RBI, and 18 home runs. He was a key contributor to Cleveland's 1920 World Series championship over Brooklyn, hitting .333 in the Fall Classic. In 1928 he became the only outfielder on record to start two triple plays in a single season. Author Lawrence Ritter interviewed him for research on *The Glory of Their Times*, and Cleveland later inducted him into its team Hall of Fame.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Charley Jamieson card?
It is card #171 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 Jamieson with the Cleveland Indians.
Is the 1933 Goudey Charley Jamieson #171 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.
