Fine example of one of the first 115 cards from the 1939 Play Ball issue that can be found with promotional copy on the reverse advertising the Play Ball cards and gum that would be released that season. These cards were handed out to stores to be used as samples of the forthcoming set the first baseball issue produced by Gum Inc. These cards are much more difficult to find than the regular-issue cards from the set the samples generally selling for multiples of the official release.
