I drafted what may be a fun prehistory of Goudey, focusing exclusively on the company's pre-baseball card era.

No need to click if you want to learn more about the baseball cards. This is strictly about chewing gum, poison, and snake oil salesmen! [emoji2956]

Thanks, Mike. How about those gum flavors! I feel lucky Goudey even made it to 1933 with that kind of lineup!

Excellent stuff, Jason! Well researched and, as Mike said, a fun read.
But you stopped just short of where we'd hoped! What have you got
on Goudey's Roll 'Em Ball Gum collect-all-the-boxes game of the mid-'30s?
