Not often do I get vintage sox cards but the guy that I was trading with had this card just couldn't pass it up.
The R-cards, or gum cards, Goudey, Play Ball, Bowman and Topps were some of the most successful cards in the history of collecting.
The cards in this 240-card series measure approximately 2 1/2" by 3 1/8". Gum Inc. improved upon its 1939 (for some odd reason no Cubs cards were included in the 39 and 41 sets) design by enclosing the 1940 black and white player photo with a frame line and printing the player's name in a panel below the picture (often using a nickname).
