If you are on a bubble gum card you are great, but who is the greatest?
Watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special tonight on ABC with my daughter I learned the most important lesson.
Lucy Van Pelt: What has Beethoven got to do with Christmas? Everyone talks about how "great" Beethoven was. Beethoven wasn't so great. Schroeder: What do you mean Beethoven wasn't so great? Lucy Van Pelt: He never got his picture on bubblegum cards, did he? Have you ever seen his picture on a bubblegum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who's never had his picture on bubblegum cards? Schroeder: Good grief. So who is the "Greatest" person put on a bubble gum card prior to 1965 (the year Charlie Brown Christmas originally premiered).

There were even beethoven trade cards prior to 1965, but they were not bubble gum cards (that I can find).

I was just posting a Beethoven card in case anyone wanted one and I too watched the Charlie Brown special and had looked that card up during a commercial break.
To answer the actual question, it's easy. Babe Ruth on a Goudey

Didn't come with bubblegum, but I think this 1960 Swedish issue qualifies as the greatest of The Greatest ...

i have sold my share of the cassius clay item
However a cutout piece of a magazine is not a card, a collectible sure, but I do not think of the Hemmett's Journal or the Rekord Journal Clay as cards.

I wouldn't think it would be hands down, baseball? maybe. Yet I said any person on a gum card. You have: 1952 Bowman Gum President Set. We had some pretty great presidents. 1953 Bowman Gum frontier. This set includes some greats from the wild west. you even have civil war sets, world war 2 sets. other wild west sets. I can't imagine that the greatest in all those sets would be Babe Ruth. I guess it depends on the standards of the word "great" to you.

Ah, but Beethoven apparently IS on a bubble gum card...
That said, I am giving a slight edge to the Southern Sweet Gum Company card of...Mozart.

How about this fellow? The G.O.A.T. in one of the most widely played and followed sports? 1965 Crack Golazo [Argentina]:
