Is this set not popular?

Well I’ve picked up a few. I really like this set. The images, the size , the player selection all of it really calls to me.

I have a few questions

1) do theses cards vary in size? ( idk if I bought a trimmed card or if that’s normal)

2) how did theses card come? With gum ? 1cent packs?

3) being in the depression era did who was buying theses cards?

4) why no Ruth or Gehrig?

5) why didn’t they make the 240 of theses card that it says on the back?

I probaly have more but let’s get this thread going! Post some stuff if you have it and let’s show this set some LOVE!
Hi Dustin

#1....These cards do vary in size.

#2....With gum....shown here is a 1-cent wrapper.

#3....The "depression era" had no affect on BB card collecting.

#4....No Ruth or Gehrig because the GOUDEY Gum Co. had the rights to these players.

#5....The GOUDEY's, PLAY BALL's, and the DIAMOND STAR's were printed on 24-card sheets.
The National Chicle Co. had intended to compete with the 1933 GOUDEY set (240 cards).
