This isn't specific to pre war really, but I like to think about the history of the specific cards that I've got. 1933 was in the depths of the depression. I like to think that's it's entirely possible that my Goudey was some kid's prize possession once. His dad spared the penny to indulge his son, even with work so hard to find. Of course I don't know if that's true of any particular Goudey that I own, but it's surely true of some of them.
