1941 PLAY BALL COMPLETE SET OF 72
This was the last of the run of Play Ball sets issued by Gum, Inc. before the second World War halted production of new baseball card sets for seven years. This was a smaller series than either the 1939 or 1940 Play Ball issues, having only 72 total cards, but just as they had done in 1940, Gum, Inc. improved upon their previous design. The 1941 Play Ball set was, in some ways, a colorized version of its 1940 set; in fact, many of the players' cards featured the same picture shown on the 1940 card, only with color added. Offered is a mixed condition set of the most popular Play Ball issue with cards ranging from P to NM-MT. Keys are: #6 Hubbell PSA 6 EX-MT, 8 Ott PSA 7 NM, 10 Vaughan EX, 13 Foxx PSA 5 EX, 14 T. Williams PSA 5 EX, 15 Cronin PSA 6 EX-MT, 18 Greenberg PSA 7 NM, 19 Gehringer PSA 6 EX-MT, 20 Ruffing G w/back damage, 21 Keller PSA 6 EX-MT, 54 Reese PSA 5 EX, 60 Klein VG-EX, 61 V. DiMaggio EX OC, 63 D. DiMaggio VG-EX, 64 Doerr PSA 5 EX, 70 Dickey PSA 5 EX, 71 J. DiMaggio PSA 3 VG, 72 Gomez VG-EX w/major stain on back that bleeds thru to front.
