This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/10/2024
Topps issued a number of small card sets in the late 1940's and the 1949 X-Ray Round Up set is one of the neater sets. Issued in packages of Pixie Gum--one card to a piece of gum--the cards picture Cowboys, Indians, Pirates, and other celebrities--real and otherwise. The set of 200 cards are numbered on the front of the card with a back that was meant to be viewed through an orange viewfinder to see what was printed. The cards had a companion album that was available by redemption. The album has slits inside on black pages in which to place the cards.
This lot of (7) 1949 Topps X-Ray Round-Up Lot cards have both all been graded by PSA and include the following subjects: #39 Mary Read (PSA7 NM), #51 Captain Martel (PSA7 NM), #170 Lawrence DeGraff (PSA7 NM), #175 Henry Hull (PSA7 NM), #37 Capt. Charles Vane (PSA7 NM), #83 Man and Chief (PSA6 EXMT) and #123 Wild Bill Hickok (PSA6 EXMT). Great lot of high graded cards for the set builder.
