1933 Goudey #67 Guy Bush
About Guy Bush
Guy Bush, a right-handed pitcher from Aberdeen, Mississippi, broke into pro ball in 1923 when the Chicago Cubs signed him after his Class D Cotton States League folded; he debuted that September and spent twelve seasons (1923-1934) as a Cubs mainstay before finishing his 17-year career with the Pirates, Boston Bees, Cardinals, and a brief 1945 comeback with Cincinnati. Alongside Pat Malone and Charlie Root, he anchored one of the National League's best pitching staffs, winning at least 15 games every year from 1928 to 1934. His breakout 1929 season - a league-high 50 appearances and 18 wins - helped carry the Cubs to the pennant, and he beat the Athletics in Game Three of that World Series. He topped even that in 1933, the very year of this card and his best season: 20 wins, 20 complete games, four shutouts, and a career-low 2.75 ERA. Nicknamed the "Mississippi Mudcat" for his Southern roots, Bush finished 176-136 with a 3.86 ERA over 542 games. He is remembered today largely for one moment with the Pirates: on May 25, 1935, he served up Babe Ruth's final two career home runs, including Ruth's 714th and last.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Guy Bush card?
It is card #67 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 Guy Bush with the Chicago Cubs.
Is the 1933 Goudey Guy Bush #67 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.
