Al CrisafulliI'm pretty sure they were in-store premiums, to entice kids to buy more National Chicle gum.
I love these cards and own a bunch. Actually, I love all the 1930s premiums.
I'm not aware of any rarities, and have owned a lot of the Fine Pens over the last year or so. Great action shots and multi-player photography. They're pretty readily available because not many people collect them.
I was just talking about this elsewhere today, but I am of the belief that the 1930s premiums are going to become more and more popular, as they're loaded with beautiful photos and tons of stars and HOFers, but have been largely ignored.
