Default About.com: Let's Review Their Baseball Card Timeline

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Right, Ted, 1908...

And Fleer signs Williams to an exclusive contract, produces an 80 card Williams set, leaving Topps with no Williams card in 1959.

Shouldn't that be 1938 for Gum Inc.'s Playballs. I know the guide says 1939, but my recollection is that some guys on here suggested it was in late 1938 when the cards came out. And the 1938 date is mentioned in an article in one of the early issues of The Sports exchange from the mid 1940s.
