Oh Boy Gum (Goudey) cards
These cards are very rare. They appear to be point of purchase distributed cards from Goudey, issued circa 1930, making them one of the first if not the first Goudey cards. I acquired some because I liked them; they remind me of the Exhibit cards that I love to collect. They are postcard sized and blank backed. Images in the set appear to be drawn from 1928-1929 films plus several of Tom Mix's earlier films. The American Card Catalog designation for the issue is E282.
Given the size of the cards and the normal configuration of the type of printing presses used to make cards in the era, other collectors and I had long assumed that a set count would be 32 cards. In 2011 I was finally able to identify 32 different cards, which I believe is a complete set. The known checklist:
“The Phantom Flier”
(2) “Rough Riding Romance”
Tom Mix and Jack Dempsey
“The Two Black Crows”
(4) “Welcome Danger”
(2) “The Glorious Trail”
“Cheyenne”
“From Headquarters”
(2) “Just Tony”
(2) “No Defense”
“Softboiled”
“The Upland Rider”
“The Clean Up Man”
“The Glorious Trail”
(2) “The Wagon Show”
“The Canyon of Adventure”
(3) “Stairs of Sand”
(3) “The Deadwood Coach”
“The Lone Star Ranger”
