Goose Goslin - 1933 Goudey #110
1933 Goudey #110 Goose Goslin
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 Goose Goslin
Leon Allen "Goose" Goslin (1900-1971) grew up on a New Jersey dairy farm and was signed by Clark Griffith's Washington Senators after a standout minor-league season in the Sally League. A left-handed-hitting outfielder, he broke in with Washington in 1921 and went on to play 18 major-league seasons with the Senators, St. Louis Browns, and Detroit Tigers, retiring with a .316 average, 2,735 hits, 248 home runs, and 173 triples. He won the 1928 AL batting title at .379, one of eleven .300-plus seasons, and helped Washington to pennants in 1924 and 1925, homering three times in the 1924 Series triumph. His nickname came from Washington Star writer Denman Thompson, who likened Goslin's flapping-armed chase of fly balls to a goose in flight. The 1933 season pictured on this card was another pennant year in Washington, and after being dealt to Detroit that winter, Goslin delivered the signature moment of his career: a ninth-inning, pennant-clinching single in Game Six of the 1935 World Series that won Detroit its first championship, a game Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis called "the greatest ever." Goslin was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1968.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Goose Goslin card?
It is card #110 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 Goose Goslin 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 Goose Goslin #110 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.
