Show us your 1941 Play Ball's....let's do a virtual set

Let's try to complete a "virtual" set of 1941 Play Ball cards. Since there are only 72 in this set......
it has the distinction having one of the highest ratios of HOFers/cards of any major BB set....21%

As you all know, it was the last major BB card set issued prior to WWII. But, that did not end the
production of bubble gum trading cards. The Bowman Gum Co. (GUM, Inc.) switched to issuing a
WAR Gum series from 1941 till the end of 1942. The last card in this series depicts the battle of
Stalingrad, that ended Feb 1943 with the defeat of the Germans, at the cost of 1.5 Million lives.

OK, I will start this "set" with my Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio....so, we have 70 more cards to
show....let's see your 1941 Play Ball's.



1941 - Dec 1942 WAR GUM series
