World Wide Gum

XanaduNow

Please help an ignorant board member. What's the difference between World Wide Gum and Goudey (specifically the 1933 issues)? Is one rarer than the other? Is there a large price difference between the two?

They appear to be very similar. Is it just a manufacturing thing?

Thanks

I think it is primarily a United States versus Canada thing.

The Canadian cards [World Wide Gum] are significantly rarer. But most collectors prefer the U.S. based Goudeys.

I think they're basically the same as goudey but canadian, with a different checklist.

If I'm wrong somebody will step in and correct it, but I think that's the deal.

Yupper. World Wide Gum can also be called a Canadian Goudey.........
