1934 Goudey #10 Chuck Klein
Chuck Klein with his new club — the Cubs paid $65,000 for the 1933 Triple Crown winner. His own likeness fronts the red banner on cards #80-91.
Sheet 1 (#1-24) is an all-returning cast: Goudey recycled 1933 subjects and artwork here to get cards onto store shelves by Opening Day, saving the new faces for the later sheets. The famous "1933" #106 Nap Lajoie make-up card was printed alongside this set's final sheet.
About Chuck Klein
Charles “Chuck” Klein — the “Hoosier Hammer,” a nod to his Indiana upbringing — entered pro ball in the Cardinals’ system, starring for Class B Fort Wayne in 1928 before the Philadelphia Phillies bought his contract for $5,000, outbidding the Yankees. The right fielder terrorized National League pitching from Philadelphia’s tiny Baker Bowl, leading the league in home runs four times (1929, 1931–33) and posting a 1930 season for the ages: .386, 40 homers, 170 RBIs, and an NL-record 158 runs scored. He won the 1932 MVP and, in 1933, the Triple Crown at .368-28-120. The reigning Triple Crown winner then changed teams: on November 21, 1933, the Cubs sent Philadelphia three players and $65,000 cash for Klein, the deal behind this card’s new Chicago cap. He helped the Cubs to the 1935 pennant, homering in that fall’s World Series loss to Detroit, then closed his career back in a Phillies uniform, finishing with 300 home runs and a .320 average. Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1980, Klein has a rare double presence in this set: card #10 revives his own 1933 Goudey artwork, while his portrait also fronts the red display banner running through cards #80–91.
