1934 Goudey #8 Tony Piet
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 Tony Piet
Tony Piet came up with the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 15, 1931, at age 24, playing under a surname trimmed from Pietruszka to Piet — as the story goes, the full name simply wouldn't fit on the Forbes Field scoreboard. The right-handed second and third baseman emerged as an everyday regular fast: in 1932 he played more games (154) than any other National League player and finished second in the league with 19 stolen bases, then posted a personal-best .323 average in 1933, third highest in the NL. He joined the Cincinnati Reds for 1934 — the club pictured on this card, part of the 1934 Goudey set's sheet-1 run that recycled 1933 artwork with players' new team affiliations. Piet went on to the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers before retiring in 1938 with a .277 average, 717 hits and 23 home runs over 744 games, then ran a Chicago car dealership advertised with the slogan "Shop for it anywhere, you'll buy it at Piet."
