R305 Tattoo Orbit Gum Overview

The 1933 R305 Tattoo Orbit Gum cards are relatively small and mostly square (2″ wide x 2 1/4″ tall). Fronts include a player image and name against a brightly-colored background.

The background is bright and unique despite using only three colors – red, yellow, and black. The player images are black and white with color mixed in for their flesh. The mostly black and white pictures of the players is a nice contrast against the background.

The back has biographical information (team, position, birthday, height, and weight) but no statistics. No identifying marks are on the cards to link them to the gum company.

You can see pictures of all of the cards here.
