1939 Goudey Premiums R303-B, Jeff Heath - Canadian Hall of Fame - SGC 5

Description: 1939 Goudey Premiums R303-B, Jeff Heath - Canadian Hall of Fame - SGC 5 On the Player - Jeff Heath (1915-1975) was a Canadian-American left fielder celebrated for his formidable hitting and intense personality. Throughout his MLB career, he played for the Cleveland Indians (1936–1945), Washington Senators (1946), St. Louis Browns (1946–1947), and Boston Braves (1948–1949). Heath quickly gained recognition as a powerful outfielder, ending his 14-season career with an impressive .293/.370/.509 slash line, 194 home runs, and a 37.7 WAR. In 1938, he made history as the first American League player to achieve 20 doubles, triples, and home runs in a single season. Heath was a two-time All-Star (1941, 1943), but his fiery temperament sometimes strained relationships with teammates and management. A trailblazer for Canadian talent in the major leagues, Heath was posthumously inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 1988. On the 1939 Goudey Premiums Set - In 1919, the Goudey Gum Company, founded by Enos Gordon Goudey, opened its first factory in Boston, Massachusetts. By 1933, Goudey revolutionized gum advertising by including baseball cards with each stick of gum, a first for the industry. While baseball cards had previously been included with cigarettes, tobacco, and some candy products, they had never been paired with gum, nor sold at an affordable price for children—a penny for both a card and a stick of gum. The 1933 Goudey "Big League Chewing Gum" set is now considered one of the "Big Three" classic baseball card sets, alongside the 1909-1911 T206 tobacco set and the 1952 Topps set. Goudey continued to produce baseball cards until 1941, when they issued their final set. The last major set from Goudey, the 1939 Goudey Premiums R303B baseball card set, consists of 24 cards, each measuring a large 4-3/4” by 7-5/16”. Printed on paper, these unnumbered cards feature player photos extending almost to the edge, along with a facsimile signature. The fronts are printed in black-and-white or sepia, while the backs, printed in brown, offer "How to" instructions (like "How to Run Bases" or "How to Bunt") and display the Diamond Stars Gum name. This set is often confused with the 1939 Goudey Premium R303A series, as both use identical imagery, but the R303B set is slightly larger in size.
