R60 G-Men and the Heroes of the Law Near Set (96/168)

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/23/2019

The R60 Gum Inc G-Men and the Heroes of the Law set pictured images from a game kids have played for the ages--cops and robbers. In this set, however, the cops were the G-Men and the Hroes of the Law and the robbers or bad guys were those criminals they faced in these perilous situations. Inexplicably, Gum, Inc issued this skip-numbered set in a number of series--some of which were significantly easier to obtain than others. There are well-known runs of cards that are prohibitively difficult like the 400's, 300's and 200's. There are the skip numbered extremely difficult 12 cards, the next difficult group of skip numbered cards. There are the low number left-hand skip card variations and there are other variations. This set is a variation collectors dream.

Near set (96/168) includes the following numbers 1-26, 29, 32, 33, 36, 39, 40, 42, 44, 46, 47, 50, 51, 53, 55, 56, 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 65, 66, 67, 69, 72, 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 86, 87, 89, 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98, 101, 103, 104, 106, 109, 111, 112, 114, 117, 119, 120, 123, 125, 126, 128, 129, 131, 132, 135, 137, 139, 142, 147, 151, 155, 158, 162 and 166. All cards fall between G and EX condition and pretty uniformly break into VG, VGEX and EX buckets within the set with a few worse condition. The near set represents the more readily available numbers from 1-166 and are a great start to a complete set.
