I got interested in the 'tins' that hold the gum - and picked one up - a lavender color variation:
Then I saw another variation on ebay - this one also had the blank piece of cardboard that separates the card from the gum - 'and' had a card of HOF'er Fred Clarke - now who can turn that down!
This one is a green color variation:
Fred Clarke:
A hobby friend told me there's two variations on this card - one with the "h" and one without in Pittsburgh.
There's a crease on the back but it doesn't go to the front - these oval 'cards' are not very thick.
Clarke played from 1894 to 1915 - mostly for the Pirates - with a lifetime BA of .312 and 67 round trippers - keep in mind - during the dead ball era.
He was inducted into the HOF in 1945.
