1933 Goudey #35 Al Simmons PSA 6 - A Vibrant Portrait of a Forgotten Batting Titan

By the time the 1933 Goudey set hit store shelves, Al Simmons was already well on his way to becoming one of the most prolific hitters of his generation. With a career batting average consistently hovering near .350 through the early 1930s, Simmons had helped lead the Philadelphia Athletics to three consecutive pennants (1929–1931) and back-to-back World Series titles. Known for his smooth, controlled swing and ability to drive in runs with uncanny consistency, Simmons was an RBI machine and a perennial .300 hitter during the height of the Live Ball Era.

This 1933 Goudey #35 card, graded PSA 6, offers a strong mid-grade example of one of the more underappreciated Hall of Famers in the set. The colors remain bold, with Simmons’ red Athletics cap and vivid yellow background providing visual pop. Centering is solid for the issue, and the edges show only light wear, preserving the card’s vintage appeal. The back features a clean, well-printed bio with Goudey’s classic font and layout—a hallmark of the iconic 1933 release.

Simmons’ cards continue to gain traction as collectors rediscover his offensive brilliance, and Goudey examples in this condition represent a sweet spot of value and historical importance. A superb choice for 1930s set builders or those looking to add a high-impact bat to their Hall of Fame lineup.
