1933 Uncle Jacks. Two sticks. And of course, the question is one of weight, not volume, as we do not know how large the pieces were. So no, nothing went over my head.

We should also not forget that an 8x10 image printed on cheap and flimsy paper is really not much of a "card" at all. R310s show no signs of being distributed inside any sort of packaging. For all we know, Baseball Gum could have just been a series of 8x10 baseball pictures sold with ANY two sticks of General Gum branded gum, or heck, maybe even Baby Ruth Gum. Maybe that's why the hobby forefathers mentioned Baby Ruth.
