I really enjoy all the cards from the depression era. Not to long ago I finished the 34 Goudey set after 10 long years and had a great time putting it together. My nice grandparents were married in 34 and my grandmother made 50 cents a week cleaning houses, I always think of that when I look through the cards and think what a luxury they were for someone at that time. The batter ups really capture the dustbowl era effect with the grimy images and are very cool.
