Dating to 1923 with the Canadian V117 Maple Crispette release (Stengel), companies often shortprinted certain cards either to avoid giving away too many prizes or to encourage young- sters to keep “coming back for more.” While profits multi- plied for the candy producers, frustrated consumers lamented their inability to complete their treasured bubble gum card series. Particularly during the depression era, candy compa- nies often resorted to producing early “chase cards” to keep profits up. Noteworthy examples include: 1933 R300 George C. Miller Ivy Andrews, 1933 R306 Butter Cream Babe Ruth and 1932 R328 U.S. Caramel Freddie Lindstrom. From 1933-1941, the Goudey Company on Boston, Massachusetts released several of the most acclaimed early gum sets. Advertised as a “series of 240 baseball stars,” the first mainstream issue of “Big League Chewing Gum” was released in 1933 and proved an instant hit among American youth and prospective set collectors, who hoarded “pictures” of their beloved heroes. Unfortunately, frenzied consumers were ultimately stymied in their attempt, as card #106 was nowhere to be found. As many of their contemporaries and predecessors, Goudey never actually printed card #106 in packages of their product. Perhaps becoming wise to the tac- tic, a handful of enterprising early hobbyists wrote letters complaining to the confectioner. Released only to those who put “pen to paper” in 1934, Goudey curbed the outcry by producing a special #106 Napoleon Lajoie card, mailing copies to those who yearned to complete their sets. With a 1934 copyright on the reverse, #106 Lajoie was produced near the time frame as the Sport Kings series from the same year. Recognizing the scarcity of the Hall of Famer, early collectors dubbed #106 Lajoie as one of the “Big Three” along with the iconic T206 Plank and Wagner examples. Graded VG-EX 4 by PSA, the offered 1933 Goudey #106 Napoleon Lajoie is one of the most celebrated baseball cards in history. With a combined PSA and SGC population census of 99 (with deference to probable “cross over” exclusions), this mid-grade specimen is properly centered with mildly touched corners and edges. The portrait is framed by a lovely lime backdrop, and the biographical reverse is clean. Despite an approximately 3/4” wrinkle tracing from “Larry’s” right cheek to the middle edge and an additional indentation right of the neck, the card of this Rhode Island native still displays nicely. With a legacy that few sports cards can match, this museum-quality treasure is a standard bearer for collecting achievement.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
