1936 Goudey Wide Pen Premiums (R314 Type 1) Baseball Forum

I'm not sure what right should look like with this set.....but I'm pretty sure what we have listed is not it.

First it's a NNO set...easy fix. The harder fix is the checklist itself and the images. This is a confusing set or more accurately a mixture of sets.

I think we have a combination of 1936 & 1937 issues mixed together in the checklist. I know that some of the images are from the '37 Type IV series.

It is beyond my limited knowledge to try and fix without considerable research and I thought a baseball guy might want to give it go. I have it on my to-do list, but it is a low priority.

I was alerted to this by an IR submitted for the '37 Type IV set.

The most complete checklist I've seen for R314 and its types came from Tim Newcomb in Old Cardboard's 2006 spring issue and proposed  this outline.

• 1935 for two groups of 24 players on yellowish stock (one with borders, one without) that lack any "litho in USA" line; several changed to different teams in 1936 and cards show them on their 1935 teams
• 1936 for all 120 "litho in USA" cards on whiter stock, plus the Waner variation that lacks that text
• 1936-37 for a group of 47 players on paler yellow stock, all from Detroit or Canadian teams. This group could align with the 1936-37 World Wide Gum baseball issue and thus been the wrapper exchange premiums for that set.
• 1937 (or later) for the remaining 25 cards on yellower stock, including DiMaggio's portrait, Doerr batting, etc.

Tim's article includes his checklist for each group in that article.
