Sure makes me wish some of those original sheets survived!<br /><br />There's a decent chance National Chicle (or whoever managed their machinery) printed those 1937 & 1938 die-cut cards for OPC on contract, after their own bankruptcy. Might be easier to ship card packs north across the border instead of large printing and cutting equipment.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-86153925456755626492021-09-02T10:13:22.426-04:002021-09-02T10:13:22.426-04:00Perhaps a bit more fuel for the National Chicle/OP...Perhaps a bit more fuel for the National Chicle/OPC die-cut theory. <br /><br />Series One of 1934-36 National Chicle Batter Up was 80 cards. Series Two was 112 cards. <br /><br />The 1936-37 OPC hockey set was 32 cards. The 1937 OPC Baseball set was 40 cards. <br /><br />Ah, and all four sets feature cards that are 2-3/8" wide. You can now picture all four sets using sheets of the same width featuring 8 cards across. For example, BU-1 could be two 8 x 5 sheets, BU-2 could be two 8 x 7 sheets, Hockey could be one 8 x 4 sheet, and OPC-BB could be one 8 x 5 sheet.<br /><br /><br /><br />Heavy J Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022842145856313206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-48425105102334069322019-02-27T09:00:54.744-05:002019-02-27T09:00:54.744-05:00Great article and impressive research.

Can be fun to start with a subset, like the minor leaguers only, or a specific city.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-20813311065764955742019-02-19T13:09:24.724-05:002019-02-19T13:09:24.724-05:00Superior post!

If I was super rich, I'd definitely focus my money on Goudey. I've always been a huge fan of their designs. And the 1933 Play Ball cards are one of my favorite designs of all-time. I hope to one day add the Foxx to my collection.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-11538590361249635952019-02-19T10:28:12.645-05:002019-02-19T10:28:12.645-05:00Thanks Jason, much appreciated!

I love the weaving together of the different sets and different makers. You have made a very strong (definitive) case for the 1936 WWG set in fact being 1936-1937, and your theory on the oddball WWG/DS wrapper seems convincing to me as well. <br /><br />Thank you for doing all of this research and publishing it for other collectors and enthusiasts!Jasonhttp://jasoncards.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
