Default Mr. Verkman – Keep your Word - Letters From Bill Mastro, Joe Orlando, & Marshall Fogel
Posted By: Al C.risafulli

David:

Best I've been able to determine, Goudey did not begin marketing the Big League Gum brand until 1933. I can't see any instance of Big League Gum being marketed without cards. Until 1933, it seems that the Oh Boy brand was Goudey's dominant product, and I would imagine that since the company letterhead publicized the Oh Boy brand of gum and not the Big League brand, that if the company were to use Babe Ruth's image to sell gum in 1930, it would have been the Oh Boy brand.
