Jo-Jo Moore - 1933 Goudey #126
1933 Goudey #126 Jo-Jo Moore
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 Jo-Jo Moore
Joe Gregg Moore was born December 25, 1908, in Gause, Texas, and died in 2001 in Bryan, Texas. He left Texas A&M for pro ball, played minor-league seasons in 1928-29, and hit .329 for the San Antonio Indians in 1930, prompting the New York Giants to purchase his contract at a record Texas League price. A left-handed-hitting left fielder, Moore played his entire 12-year career with the Giants (1930-1941) before finishing with the Indianapolis Indians in 1942-43. Known as "the Thin Man" for his lanky 5'11", 150-pound frame, he became New York's leadoff hitter and one of the game's premier defensive outfielders — Bill Terry, his manager, called him "the greatest left fielder I ever saw." Moore batted .298 for his career with 1,615 hits, 79 home runs, and 513 RBI over 1,335 games, and was a six-time National League All-Star. He helped the Giants to three pennants and played in the 1933, 1936, and 1937 World Series; in the 1933 Series the Giants beat the Washington Senators in five games for the title, with Moore, per SABR, making the finest throw of the Series. In the 1937 Series he led all players with 9 hits in 23 at-bats. After baseball he became a cattleman and rancher in Texas and was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1933 Goudey Jo-Jo Moore card?
It is card #126 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 Jo-Jo Moore with the New York Giants.
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 Jo-Jo Moore #126 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.
