Gumaker's issued the True Spy Stories set of 24 cards in 1939. The set pictured stories of spies from all over the world in situations that piqued the curiosity of America's youth. Stories of Mata Hari, Allen Pinkerton and spies from Japan, China and other foreign, exotic countries in dangerous situations are pictured on the front of these cards with narratives on the back that were likely the subjects of many childhood games. This set is an even looking VGEX to EX set with some better and some worse. The colorful fronts picture airplanes, bullets flying, smoky rooms, people plotting around tables and people peering around rocks, doors, walls. A fantastic set from the pre-war Gum genre.

Condition breakdown on this set is as follows: (7) cards EX to EXMT, (12) cards in VG to VGEX with (5) in lower grade. The set presents nicely and card #1 is VGEX to EX with card #24 in VG.
