In 1933, the Goudey Gum Company
of Boston, Massachusetts, produced a
240 set of "Big League Chewing Gum"
baseball cards. The packs were issued
with a stick of bubble gum, making them
the first baseball gum cards. Endorsed
by Lou Gehrig in 1934, Goudey created
the Knot Hole League, a new collecting
club that rewarded members that saved
Big League wrappers with "New Free
Baseball Premiums." All you had to do
was send in twenty Big League wrappers,
with 3¢ in stamps, and you became a
member.
Goudey sent you; one
Knot Hole
membership card, one Knot Hole Badge
(for your coat or shirt) and one Big
League Premium book. Premiums included;
Knot Hole League of America patches,
Jerseys, baseball gloves, balls, or
photographic type pictures of Babe
Ruth, American & National League
All-Stars, or World Series Champs. The
kit also included a
Knot Hole League
fold-out brochure, which outlines the
Club's goals and benefits which
features a facsimile signature of the
President Lou Gehrig. The other side
pictures some of the Free Premiums you
could get with Big League wrappers.
