1933 Sport Kings Babe Ruth

The Goudey Gum company produced another set in 1933, featuring stars from baseball, football, basketball, golf, cycling, boxing, skiing, horse racing, wrestling, tennis, hockey, swimming, boating, flying, billiards, and track and field. Oh, and Iditarod. This 48-card set was boldly stamped with the obvious moniker Sport Kings.

The cards in the Sport Kings set showed portraits of these prominent athletes in uniform, from the waist up. Just above each athlete's name was a miniature scene from that athlete's sport. This was a beautiful set and was produced over the span of two years.

The cards in this set measured 2 3/8" by 2 7/8" and were packaged in two different colored wrappers.

There were only three baseball players included in the set - Ty Cobb, Carl Hubbell, and Yankees outfielder Babe Ruth.
