R210 Trio Gum Know Your Presidents Lot of (16) Cards with TOUGH Harry Truman

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/26/2022

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 of (14) cards is in poor to VGEX condition. A few of the cards have slightly darker tones to them than others. This is a rare opportunity to get a good group of these cards. Rarely seen in lots of this size, this lot also includes the key to the set--Harry S Truman. The Truman card is rarely seen in any condition with this one being in Poor condition with surface issues. The other cards in the lot display relatively well even with obvious condition flaws. Great lot that represents nearly half of the set of (32) cards.
