This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/26/2020
The R210 Trio Gum set is a (32) card set of U.S. Presidents from Trio Gum of Philadelphia, PA. Little is known about Trio Gum. It was from one of the hotbeds of gum and gum card production from the 1930's.....Philadelphia. That much is known. Were they an early part of Bowman or some other well known gum company? Regardless of their origin, they issued what became known as one of the tougher U.S. Presidents sets in the early 1930's. Unlike the R114 U S Caramel presidents set, there is no known single difficult card in this set. Rather, they are all relatively difficult cards. The cards go from Washington to Truman with just a single card representing Cleveland, totaling 32 cards. It has been, in the past, suggested that the Truman card is more difficult and, as such, it is in a separate lot by itself.
This lot is for a single R220 Trio Gum U.S. Presidents card of Harry S Truman. It is a companion to the other lot of (30/32) Trio Gum presidents listed in this auction. The Truman has been, in the past, noted as being the key to the set and, as such, has been separated from the other lot. This card is in EXMT condition and very clean. It is difficult to find R220 cards in as strong of condition as the ones in this auction.
