This card was issued by Goudey Gum Co. of Boston, Mass., USA, as a part of an un-numbered set of 70 different 3 1/8" x 1 1/2" License Plate cards from around the world. Beside being roughly 90 years old, these cards are scarce in that they were not heavily produced or distributed when made.

"Goudey Gum Co." is the manufacturer's name that graces such famous cards as those depicting George Herman "Babe" Ruth and Lou Gehrig in their heyday of making gum trading cards in the 1930s. This car is indeed a coveted and important part of both trading card and license plate history.

I have collected mini license plate items since the mid-1970s, and have a collection numbering well over 3,000 items. I am slowly getting into turning this into a business to feed my habit. I am not new to eBay; I have been buying and selling on this website since 1996 - this is a new I.D., not a new seller. My prime motivation here is to offer collectors a safe-haven store with realistic pricing and a bit of good education in down-home honest dealing. It might also help these other sellers with no knowledge in the subject to more realistically price their items.

I am working on compiling a website AND a book of knowledge about this wonderful but small hobby. Follow me as a seller and stay updated on that endeavor. I am relatively sure that while the website will have low visitor count and the book will be a small print run, they will turn out to be very valuable for anyone who likes this subject.
