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 near set (130/144) cards contains the following condition breakdown: 30% VGEX to EX, 60% VG to VG+ and 10% Good or worse. Very even condition set that with a few adds and upgrades could be a very nice complete mid-grade set. Missing the following numbers to be complete: 19, 21, 32, 35, 37, 38, 43, 54, 55, 62, 82, 84, 114, 128.
