Interesting info. I've never liked the set for a lot of the reasons you mentioned. Plus I never saw them when I first started collecting and I'm not sure I have ever seen one in person. The only one I have ever thought about buying is the Hubbell. The short prints are interesting. I wonder if Goudey had some contract issues? Lots of obscure players in the set. What year did Goudey sell his company? He stayed on the board or something after selling didn't he?
The number of relatively obscure players in this set is intriguing. Most might not have been when this set was issued. My theory may be that Goudey, Gum, Inc. and Gum Products, Inc didn't have to follow the Privacy Statute of 1903 since in only applied to New York, and therefore, there was no requirement for these companies not based in New York to have player's sign a contract for their image to be made public on a card. It's just a theory right now, but I've never seen a contract from any of these companies from 1941. I think the only time this may have been an issue is when a player sued the company over right of privacy as Johnny Mize did. He ended up losing his case as the second judge didn't believe he had a right to privacy being an "entertainer". So Enos Gordon Goudey retired in 1931 or 1932 but remained on the board of directors until his passing in 1946. The company's Treasurer, Harold C. Delong wasn't with Goudey either, having set up his business as it looks like 1929. It looks like he still may have had a say in the 1934 Goudey design. I wrote down, or at least tried to connect the dots and form a timeline of who owned Goudey and when? It's still a work in progress but it looks like one of the guys who founded National Chicle sometime in 1932-33 and then a guy named Devlin in 1934 and one of these guys initially replaced Harold C. Delong in 1929. I believe the company was sold in 1939 but I haven't found definitive proof as to who or the exact date?
I love this vid. I just recently had a barn find with the Al todd in it as well as other crazy finds. I found some amazing cards like the 33 Lou. The more I research this set the more I want it. Thank for this vid. Is there a difference in the color as far as being rare? I got the green back ground and am curious.
Congrats on picking up the Al Todd! I'm glad you enjoy the video and hope it can help you out. It's a simple, but fantastic set. Traditionally red is a difficult color to print. It's normally used in advertising and the first color you see. Since we don't have any sheets, I don't know which color (if any) could be more difficult other than what I related in the video. I think green is my favorite color in the set followed by yellow.
