Fred Schulte - 1933 Goudey #112
1933 Goudey #112 Fred Schulte
No team banner: this card comes from Goudey's late-1933 press sheets 8-10, which dropped the team-name banner from the front design. Sheet 10 was the "World Series" sheet — split evenly between the pennant-winning Senators and Giants and released after the Series ended on October 7, 1933.
About Fred Schulte
Fred "Fritz" Schulte was a right-handed-hitting center fielder who broke into pro ball in 1924 with Waterloo of the Illinois-Indiana-Iowa League, batting .368 to lead the club to the league championship and earn a contract with Milwaukee of the American Association. He reached the majors with the St. Louis Browns in 1927 and became their regular center fielder, driving in 85 runs with 44 doubles in 1928. Traded to the Washington Senators in December 1932, Schulte manned center field for the pennant-winning 1933 Senators, collecting 162 hits that championship season. In Game Five of the 1933 World Series against the New York Giants, his three-run homer tied the score before Mel Ott's extra-inning drive glanced off Schulte's glove and over the temporary bleacher fence for the Series-winning run. He closed out an 11-year major-league career (Browns, Senators, Pirates) with a .291 batting average, 1,241 hits, 47 home runs, and 593 RBI over 1,179 games. His nickname "Fritz" reflected his German heritage, a common tag for ballplayers of German descent in that era. His hometown of Belvidere, Illinois, has honored him ever since with a high-school baseball hitting award established in 1962 and a mural unveiled in 2017.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Fred Schulte card?
It is card #112 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 Fred Schulte with the Washington Senators.
Why does this card have no team banner?
It comes from Goudey's late-1933 press sheets 8-10, which dropped the team-name banner from the front design - 72 cards in the set share the bannerless look. This card is from sheet 10, the World Series sheet, split evenly between the pennant-winning Senators and Giants and released after the Series ended on October 7, 1933.
Is the 1933 Goudey Fred Schulte #112 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.
