Default Hopeful conclusion to the 1930 Goudey Ruth saga......

Posted By: dennis

prior to 1933 goudey gums most popular gum was called OH BOY GUM. if a 1930 product it would be a babe ruth oh boy gum calendar.
the goudey co. was sold in late 1931 or early 1932 so the idea for gum cards were the creation,no doubt,of the new owners.
the 1st cards were indian gum.1933
if the item were real there would be many of these out there, and for sure would date 1933/34. ruth items have always been saved so why only 1 seen and only in the last few years?
can anyone tell me an item with babe ruth pictured on it that "is one of a kind"?
why produce only 1 premium and for a product that does not exist? if destroyed lots would have snuck out the back door.
goudey company products were sold to children, calenders are not part of a kids world esp. in the 1920's.
