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 rightanded 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.Population Data:PSA Population: 424 total graded 34 at this level 39 higherSGC Population: 134 total graded 8 at this level 5 higher
