Hey, I have a few questions about this set. I search the archives and got a few answers. I did not find as much information about the set as I thought. A lot of sets even obscure sets seem to get a lot of attention. I see people post images of advertising material and original packages or old articles about the these card.
Is this set not popular?

Well I’ve picked up a few. I really like this set. The images, the size , the player selection all of it really calls to me.

I have a few questions

1) do theses cards vary in size? ( idk if I bought a trimmed card or if that’s normal)

2) how did theses card come? With gum ? 1cent packs?

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

4) why no Ruth or Gehrig?

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

I probaly have more but let’s get this thread going! Post some stuff if you have it and let’s show this set some LOVE!
