'08, '41, How About the Most Significant Pre-War Card Year
Posted By: peter chao
There's a lot of talk about significant baseball years. What are the most significant pre-war baseball card years and which set or sets were issued that year. What was special about the set or sets. |

I would go with 1933 because of the various gum issues produced that year. If most of the T and E issues from after the turn of the century were issued just one year, instead of a 4 to 5 year span between 1908 and 1912, then I would go with that. |

More happened of note in 1884 than any other baseball year in my (do I haveta pretend to be humble again) opinion. |

DITTO....to what Gilbert is saying....without a doubt the late 19th Century Tobacco issues are the most significant. |

'08, '41, How About the Most Significant Pre-War Card Year
Posted By: leon
I noticed a comment about me possibly loving the cards and not the sport of baseball. I have said before, and still feel the same way, that there is not a sport I love more than baseball. I still play softball very competitively and grew up playing baseball all my life...through high school. In little league we went to the Texas State All Star finals and stayed in Waco for a whole week. I played every inning of every game and had the second highest batting average in our league. Our regular season team took the championship and I pitched half of every game. I am sure other board memebers have had similar experiences and are/were better ball players..I am only giving my history to show my feelings..... I love baseball. What I don't care for is current major league pro baseball. I will watch it every now and then but probably couldn't name more than 25 players today...I just don't care because of all of the things that have happened and the whiney ass attitudes of the mulitmillionaire babies. I don't begrudge them the money at all as they deserve it. The owners certainly make their share off of them. I just don't like the strikes (which I never got over) and some of the other stuff.... My family and I still go to some local AA games and we love them. I love baseball.....best regards |

Answers will surely differ if a range of years are included, e.g., 1909-1911 versus a single year. Moreover, there's obviously a difference between the most significant card year versus the most significant sport of baseball one. That said, there is no right answer as it's all subjective anyway. I selected 1933, but 1910 and 1887 are damn close. |

I agree with Bob; 1909-10 must be on the top of the list IMHO. 1887 and 1933 are next. |

Old Judge, K-Bats, and Four-Base Hits are some serious cards. But 1933 Goudeys helped pull a country out of a depression. During the depression, Baseball was still America's game, people were still listening to the exploits of Babe Ruth on the radio. The Goudey sets came out just when the country was pulling themselves out of the depression. Goudey produced the second major color sets of the century. Few if any people had color TVs back then. When they saw the Babe Ruth cards in the '33 Goudey Set, it may have been the first time they saw their hero in color. |

'08, '41, How About the Most Significant Pre-War Card Year
Posted By: Mike
I used to be a huge sports fan. Basketball, football, baseball. The players attitudes, and arrogance have left me sick of it all. In my mind at least, baseball is the one sport left, that I like. I can't imagine ever detesting it, like I detest the other big 2. If you bought my tickets, gave me a ride, and paid me $500, I wouldn't go to a pro basketball game. I hate it. The fact that we have the Timberwolves, has nothing to do with it. I hate all the teams. I had Vikings season tickets for 8 years. You couldn't pay me enough to go see that bunch of clowns. And it isn't their poor play that I hate. I hate the law breaking, big mouth, drinking bunch of pigs that they are. I still like baseball, but the players are chewing away at that love as well. The Twins are at Yankee stadium this week. During the Star Spangled banner, Jeter was blowing bubbles with his gum, talking and not paying attention to anything. Like he was above it all. What a complete piece of crap he is. Rude, arrogant, and self centered. I still like baseball, but I hope it doesn't turn into a garbage sport like the rest. |

Guys, I apologize for overstating the case for 1933 Goudeys. Let me simply say it was a cheap form of entertainment during the height of the depression. That is enough to make it special. |
