Pre-war card refers to a sports or trading card produced before the Second World War, generally meaning issues from the 1880s through the 1941 Play Ball baseball set. Iconic pre-war sets include T206 (1909-1911), 1933 Goudey, and 1934-36 Diamond Stars. Pre-war cards used heavier card stock, smaller dimensions in many cases, and were often distributed with tobacco, gum, or candy products.
