Description

Presented is a complete 216-card set of 1933 R73 Goudey Indian Gum, one of the most popular and difficult to complete of all the 1930s gum-card issues. Its outstanding color, detailed artwork, and popular subject matter all contribute to making this set one of nonsport collecting's all-time classics. Advanced collectors are well aware that Indian Gum cards are far more difficult to collect in high grade than baseball cards of the era, in part because they are considerably rarer. The condition is 17% Vg-Ex to Ex (including one Ex-Mt), 57% Gd to Vg, and 26% Pr to Fr. The breakdown by series is as follows: Series 24 (1 card): #1. Series 48 (69 cards): #2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 110, 115, 116, 118, 120, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 130, 131, 132, 136, 137, 138, 140, 142, 144, 146, 148, 150, 152, 154, 156, 158, 160, 162, 165, 167, 168, 170, 179, 183, 185, 187, 193, 196, 199, 200, 201, 202, 204, 206, 207, 208, and 209.
