Lot # 2884: 1935 R89 Gum, Inc. "Mickey Mouse" Bubble Gum Collection (6) in Original Display Album

Rarely offered collection of six different 1935 R89 "Mickey Mouse" Bubble Gum cards issued by Gum, Inc. Each card is housed in the original album (affixed with glue) and presents as Vg to Vg-Ex, including one Gd. It should be noted some spots of glue leaked onto the surface of the cards. The grades are without reference to this characteristic. This collection consists of the following #18, 23, 31, 35, 36, and 42. The original "Vol. 1" album in which the cards are mounted is in Fair condition. There is pencil on the front cover, scattered creases, tape residue on several inside pages, and even wear. Mickey Mouse Bubble Gum cards are an iconic 1930s nonsport bubble-gum card set. The brilliant colors, high-quality artwork, and popular subject matter make this set a favorite with collectors. It is worth noting that cards from this set are much scarcer than most collectors realize and far more difficult to find than most baseball cards of the era. This is a relatively affordable yet still attractive group of one of the most popular of all 1930s gum-card sets with tremendous crossover appeal to both card collectors and Mickey Mouse collectors. Total: 6 cards mounted in original album.
