My personal favorite is the '39 play balls. Bigger cards, outstanding image clarity...and it's just my own personal opinion, but I think that set might have saved the hobby. Goudey was dying, every other issue was basically gone, paper was getting expensive and in short supply. The 39 and 40 sets were really the only Major distributions until peace time really settled in in '48. If it weren't for the Gum Inc sets of '39-41 who knows what might have happened to the hobby after a full decade of basic non existence
