The R41 Dick Tracy set of (144) cards was issued in 1937 by the Walter H Johnson candy company of Chicago, IL. The cards were issued with Dick Tracy Caramels in 1 cent packs. The set pictured the episodes of Dick Tracy which originally began in 1931. By the time this set was issued, American children were fascinated with the yellow-coated detective and his exploits. The cards picture Tracy and his cast of characters fighting crime and solving problems. A large find of cards numbered 121-144 in very high grade was found in the 1980's and most sets typically have those high number cards in EXMT or better.
This set of (144) cards is generally in Good to NRMT with most cards being VG to EX condition and very clean. There are just a very few that have any real condition issues--most of which are issues on the backs of the card. Card #82 has been graded PSA4 VG-EX. The box card is in poor condition with wear to left corners. Great clean set.
