No set typifies the 1930's gum card offerings of war and grit and strife more than the R69 Horrors of War set. Issued in 1938, before the United States had entered WWII, the set was printed on sheets of 24 cards with 10 sheets making up the base low number offering. Two sheets or 48 cards made up the high number section for a total of 288 cards. The cards pictured all manner of unspeakable acts from the beginnings of WWII perpetrated by those who would be come the Axis powers of the war.

To advertise the set, Gum Inc used a couple promotions on the backs of cards. There were cards with pre-printed advertising on the back known as 'sample cards' as well as 'free pack' cards that had stamps on the back offering a free package of R69 Horrors of War for the lucky receipient.

This lot of (9) cards have all been graded PSA5 EX and include the following numbers: #113, 116, 128, 133, 144, 148, 191, 192 and 225. Great lot of mid-grade cards from PSA that will be very difficult to duplicate given the current $50 per card grading fees.
