Set Information - 1933 Goudey Baseball Cards (R319) - In 1919, the Goudey Gum Company, founded by Enos Gordon Goudey, opened its first factory in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1933, Goudey pioneered a new advertising vehicle for selling gum, including baseball cards with each stick of gum. Cards had earlier been available with cigarettes and tobacco products, and with certain lines of candy. But baseball cards had not been available with gum, and not for an affordable price to all children, one penny for a stick of gum and a card. The 1933 Goudey “Big League Chewing Gum” set includes 240 cards (or 239, depending on your treatment of the Lajoie card, #106). The card dimensions are 2 3/8” by 2 7/8”. The 1933 Goudey set is considered by many as one of the “Big Three” classic baseball card sets, along with the 1909-1911 T206 tobacco set, and the 1952 Topps set.
