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

If you look back at the Depression, it wasn't simply a crash and a recovery. By 1933, when the Goudeys came out, the economy was looking better. But it dipped again in 1937, and there are barely any cards in 1937 and 1938. But there was a revival in cards in 1939, just as the economy was getting rolling again.

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

If you do a Google search, it's not too difficult to find images of a later series of Diamond Stars that was never released. Just type in "1937 Diamond Stars." It appears National Chicle had plans for a bigger set.
