Step into pre-war baseball history with this rare and iconic 1941 Double Play card featuring Buck Newsom and Hank Greenberg—card #115/116 in the set. Issued by Gum, Inc., this card pairs two stars of the Detroit Tigers during one of the most pivotal eras in American history.

On one side is Buck “Bobo” Newsom, a colorful and durable right-handed pitcher known for his tenacity and over 200 career wins. On the other is Hank Greenberg, a legendary slugger and Hall of Famer, widely regarded as one of the greatest power hitters of his time. Greenberg was also a trailblazer—one of the first Jewish superstars in Major League Baseball and a symbol of courage and integrity during WWII.

The 1941 Double Play set is known for its unique horizontal format, with two players per card, and was one of the final baseball issues before wartime production halted most trading card series. The black-and-white photos and clean layout give it a classic, newspaper-style look that stands out among early 1940s issues.
