Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . Pre-World War II PLAY BALL... 1940 BROOKLYN DODGERS Complete Team* REPRINT Set Contains all 1940 team members for this team* as issued by Gum, Inc. Perfect for the team collector! Original Play Ball cards from which this reprint set are now 80 years old. America's involvement in World War II was less than 2 years hence and a penny purchased a fine card and good size slab of bubble gum in those days. Team sets - to say nothing of the full 240 original 1940 baseball gum cards - are fast becoming nearly unaffordable in high quality, excellent-plus/near-mint to mint condition like these.ANY number of these great Play Ball reprint team sets will ship for the single set USPS Ground Advantage cost - simply request a combined invoice before paying. Questions? Email us. Offered here is a well-executed COMPLETE* TEAM SET of cards. It is clearly marked REPRINT 1986 and is affordable by nearly all! It was issued more than three decades ago (in 1986) by an unidentified reprinter - possibly the venerable Card Collector's Co., longtime supplier of sports hobby goods and accessories. Card size of these reprints is approximately 2-1/2" by 3-1/8" - same size as the Philadelphia gum company's originals. Cards this size fit in commonly available standard 9-pocket top-loading collector sheets for easy and safe viewing. A collecting Tip: Before buying any team reprint set, check the seller's listing carefully to learn what is (and is not) included. Sometimes partial sets, near-sets or superstars-only sets are offered. This TEAM SET features every contemporary member's card from this team that was included in the 1940 Gum, Inc. card set. It is comprised of players based on the team name indicated on the reverse side of the card - not necessarily as pictured. The reverse side, in some cases, contained team changes reflecting up-to-the-moment trades whereas the front may not. Currently, we have just one set in stock. *Who's Included & Who's Not? All cards included in this complete team set are shown in the scan(s). The 1940 Gum, Inc. Play Ball set included 32 FORMER Major League stars who often played for multiple teams making it difficult to impossible to include them with their "right" team. Accordingly, cards for these "Former Major League Stars" are not included in team reprint sets unless they were current (1940) managers or coaches for the team. For example, such players as Casey Stengel and Honus Wagner are included with their teams, the Bees [Braves] and Pirates, respectively, since in 1940 they were manager and coach. Conversely, recently retired Tony Lazzeri and emeritus ballplayers such as Christy Mathewson, Home Run Baker and Tris Speaker are not included with their primary teams, the Giants, A's and Indians. These "Former Major League Stars" comprise a team set offered separately and may be available on eBay. A few of those included are in this team set: Van Lingle Mungo ~ Freddie Fitzsimmons ~ Babe Phelps ~ Whitlow Wyatt ~ Dolph Camilli ~ Chuck Dressen ~ Joe Vosmik ~ Hugh Casey ~ Gus Mancuso ++MORE! (See attached scans - all cards included in this complete team set are shown.)Condition: Excellent-Plus/Near-Mint or better Every card you will receive is pictured. _______________________ Important: Shipping Information Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
