1930s Baseball Cards - Colors and Artwork

[TanksAndSpartans]

I wasn’t going to post at first because its a baseball card topic, but in the end I couldn't resist. I really love the cards from this era too and Al opened the door a little bit by mentioning football. Aesthetically, I think these are my two favorite cards. Caddel looks like he’s running right off the card at you with the white uniformed official about to enthusiastically signal for a TD. And Grange wearing the classic vertical striped jersey with the facial expression I’ve seen in several other photos perfectly captured.

And speaking of artwork, here's a link to an auction write up for an example of a piece of original Chicle artwork which mentions: "When the original National Chicle find surfaced in the 1970s directly from the family of a National Chicle employee...":

A bit of football cards, 1930s style, is very cool too. Thanks for sharing...
