These cards measure approximately 1" by 2 1/8" and primarily feature players from the National League. This is one of the few nineteenth century issues which are not tobacco related. The set was issued by the G and B Chewing Gum Co and is the first set baseball issue released by a gum or candy company. The cards are unnumbered and we have sequenced them in alphabetical order. If more than one pose is known, we have put the number of said poses next to the player's name. The complete set price only includes one of each variation. Portraits are worth approximately 1.5X times the value of the drawings. Some cards were recently discovered and added to this checklist so any further additions are appreciated. [Collapse]
