Goudey

Goudey is a brand of sports trading cards that was first introduced in 1933 by the Goudey Gum Company. The brand quickly became popular among collectors due to its unique designs, bright colors, and inclusion of both veteran and rookie players in each set. Goudey primarily produced baseball cards but also released sets for other sports, such as football and boxing.

One of the unique aspects of Goudey baseball cards was their use of colorful backgrounds and artistic designs. Goudey's early sets featured colorful backgrounds with player images superimposed on them, which was a departure from the more traditional designs used by other trading card companies at the time. The company also included a variety of subset cards in their sets, such as "World Series" and "Lou Gehrig Says," which helped to highlight top stars and provided collectors with additional information about the players.

Another feature that set Goudey apart from other trading card companies was their use of bubble gum as a bonus item in each pack of cards. The inclusion of bubble gum helped to make Goudey's cards even more popular with collectors and helped to establish the brand as a major player in the industry.
