1934 Goudey #91 Dolph Camilli
One of the 12 "Chuck Klein says" cards (#80-91), all National Leaguers: with an American Leaguer fronting the rest of the set, Goudey gave its last dozen NL subjects a spokesman from their own circuit — a red strip with Klein's photo where the blue Gehrig strip usually sits.
High number: this card belongs to the fourth and final 24-card press sheet (#73-96), printed as the 1934 season wound down — the reason the set's last two dozen cards are its hardest to find.
About Dolph Camilli
Adolph “Dolph” Camilli opened his pro career in the Pacific Coast League, spending eight seasons with the San Francisco Seals and Sacramento Senators before the Chicago Cubs brought him to the majors in September 1933. A June 1934 trade sent the slick-fielding first baseman to the Phillies as Goudey was printing this card, making it his recognized rookie issue — number 91 in the scarce high-number “Chuck Klein Says” National League run (#80–91) that closed the 1934 set. Camilli anchored Philadelphia’s infield through 1937, batting .339 that year, the best single-season average by a 20th-century Phillies first baseman, and fielded the putout that ended Babe Ruth’s career on May 30, 1935. Dealt to Brooklyn in 1938 in one of the era’s most lopsided trades, he turned into the cornerstone of the Dodgers’ revival: a two-time All-Star (1939, 1941) who captured the 1941 NL MVP award after leading the league with 34 home runs and 120 RBIs, driving Brooklyn to its first pennant in 21 years before falling to the Yankees in the World Series. He retired with 239 home runs and 950 RBIs over 1,490 games and was inducted into the Dodgers’ Hall of Fame.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1934 Goudey Dolph Camilli card?
It is card #91 of the 1934 Goudey (R320) Baseball set - the 96-card, 2-3/8 by 2-7/8 inch color-art set issued in 1934 with Big League Chewing Gum. It pictures Dolph Camilli with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Why does this card say 'Chuck Klein says' instead of 'Lou Gehrig says'?
Cards #80-91 - all National League players - swap the blue Lou Gehrig strip for a red one fronted by the Cubs' Chuck Klein, the reigning NL Triple Crown winner. Goudey used the two spokesmen to balance the leagues. Kiki Cuyler #90 is the only Hall of Famer among the twelve.
Is the 1934 Goudey Dolph Camilli #91 a rookie card?
By modern catalog convention, yes. Sheet 1 of the set reused returning 1933 subjects, but most of the remaining cards picture players getting their first major gum card - 63 of the 96 cards carry the rookie-card (RC) designation.
How many cards are in the 1934 Goudey set?
96 cards, printed on four 24-card press sheets. 84 fronts carry the blue 'Lou Gehrig says' strip and 12 carry the red 'Chuck Klein says' strip (#80-91). The high numbers #73-96 are the scarcest cards.
