Along with N172 T206 and 1952 Topps, the 1933 Goudey baseball set is one of the hobby"s "big four." Always a challenge to find in top condition, the set's beautiful imagery and detailed player descriptions, along with four different Ruth cards and a scarce Lajoie, have given it lasting popularity among prewar card collectors. This card shows a colorful illustration of the powerful righthanded swing that would drive in a record 191 runs in 1930. The troubled Dodger outfielder would experience a rapid decline, however, and after a midseason release by Brooklyn in 1934, Wilson latched on with the Phillies for a final month. After completing one season in the New York-Pennsylvania league, Wilson was out of baseball by the age of 35 and sadly dead by 48 - an early example of the devastation that can be caused by the excesses of fame. This sharp, high-grade specimen has attained a grade of NM-MT 8 from PSA, well-centered with a beautiful, colorful image.
