Summary
A Chicago homeowner discovered two 1933 Goudey baseball card wrappers in an attic during a renovation. The wrappers had three corners cut, suggesting they were part of a mail-in redemption program. Goudey offered premiums like Babe Ruth cards for 50 wrappers. The 1933 set is considered a rare and valuable collection. The wrappers were found under insulation and had been untouched for over 90 years. The discovery highlights the long-term value of baseball card collecting.
