R card question
As part of my 1900-1939 type collection, i'm nearing the completion of the R
cards and am running into a couple I know nothing about and could use some help.
I just received an R326 big league movies and an R342 thum movies. Both are John Irving Burns. I decided to get the same player for both R's to compare the similarities and differences. Both have the same biography of Burns on the back and it appears that the inner pictures which you flip through quickly to produce a 'movie' look much the same, although the thum appears to have quite a few more pics.
Does anyone know much about these? I know they're both Goudey so i'm wondering what relationship between the big league and thum movie cards was intended by Goudey. Any other information would also be appreciated---speculations,articles, websites, etc. would also be appreciated.
all the best,
barry
