This week I\'m offering a number of old non-sport cards from various vintage sets. Before the Second World War, there were two gum companies competing for dominance in the trading card business. One was the Goudey Gum company of Boston, creator of Indian Gum as well as a pretty good series of baseball sets. The other was Gum Inc. of Philadelphia., which produced such sets as Horrors of War, G-Men, the World In Arms, War News Pictures, and the three Playball baseball sets issued from 1939 to 1941. After the war, Gum Inc. became Bowman Gum. One memorable set was Uncle Sam - National Defense, a 144-card set setting forth detailed information about the various armed forces, clearly anticipating that the US would shortly be drawn into the war in Europe. Cards 97 to 120 are somewhat tougher than the lower numbers, and numbers 121 to 144 are extremely rare. These cards remain highly collectible and popular in the non-sport hobby.Here I have #37 in the set, \"Can You Take It?\" It shows corner wear (see scans for condition). Not too bad for a card that\'s over seventy years old. This would be a terrific addition to any collection!Payment is via PayPal; shipping is $2.25 for First Class Mail, and postage will be combined for multiple winnings.
