1933 Goudey - #174, Warren "Curley" Ogden - Montreal Royals

Description: 1933 Goudey - #174, Warren "Curley" Ogden - Montreal Royals - SGC 3 On the Player - Warren "Curley" Ogden (1901-1964) was born in Ogden, Pennsylvania, a town named after his family, who had lived in the area southwest of Philadelphia for generations. A talented athlete, Ogden excelled in three sports at Chester High School and went on to attend Swarthmore College, where he pitched for the baseball team. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1922 and was immediately signed by Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics. Without spending any time in the minor leagues, Ogden made his Major League debut against Cleveland on July 18, 1922. His Major League career included stints with the Philadelphia Athletics (1922–1924) and the Washington Senators (1924–1926), where he became a World Series champion in 1924, the only title in the team's history. Ogden's Major League career was cut short by persistent arm troubles. He finished with 18 wins and 19 losses and a career ERA of 3.79. After his time in the majors, Ogden pitched for seven seasons in the International League. His older brother, Jack Ogden, also attended Swarthmore College, pitched in the major leagues for the New York Giants, St. Louis Browns, and Cincinnati Reds, and was inducted into the International League Hall of Fame. Set Information - 1933 Goudey Baseball Cards (R319) - In 1919, the Goudey Gum Company, founded by Enos Gordon Goudey, opened its first factory in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1933, Goudey pioneered a new advertising vehicle for selling gum, including baseball cards with each stick of gum. Cards had earlier been available with cigarettes and tobacco products, and with certain lines of candy. But baseball cards had not been available with gum, and not for an affordable price to all children, one penny for a stick of gum and a card. The 1933 Goudey “Big League Chewing Gum” set includes 240 cards (or 239, depending on your treatment of the Lajoie card, #106). The card dimensions are 2 3/8” by 2 7/8”. The 1933 Goudey set is considered by many as one of the “Big Three” classic baseball card sets, along with the 1909-1911 T206 tobacco set, and the 1952 Topps set.
