	1941 Play Ball is a 72-card set measuring approximately 2 1/2" by 3 1/8". Many of the cards in the 1941 Play Ball series are simply color versions of pictures appearing in the 1940 set. This was the third, and final, year Gum, Inc. released their Play Ball set, and 1941 was the only one in color. After World War II, Gum, Inc. would be rebranded as "Bowman Gum" and would re-enter the baseball card market by the end of the decade.		1941 Play Ball (''[[American Card Catalog\|ACC:]]'' R336) is a 72-card set measuring approximately 2 1/2" by 3 1/8".

After World War II, Gum, Inc. would be rebranded as "Bowman Gum" and would re-enter the baseball card market by the end of the decade.

	The set was released in two series of 48 and 24 cards. It is believed that those final 24 cards were not issued until 1942.
