Gilbert MainesI have been trying to like the t & e cards and the era which they portray. I have not met with the same success which I have for the earlier and later prewar cards.
Even if the Wheaties cereal box rear panels are not actually cards, I must agree that the designs are striking. The series nine Hubbell is one of my favorites (and Id like to buy one).
The design and content of the goudey, play ball and diamond stars are also attractive. I like the bold colors of the goudey, the art deco of the diamond stars and the nicknames (particularly "Line Drive" Nelson - a pitcher!) of the play balls.
My favorite baseball era was the period in which the pitcher was not supposed to interfere with the play of the game by means such as trick pitches. You know, like curving the ball or throwing it fast.
