The R61 Government Agents v. Public Enemies set is a (24) card strip card set issued in the 1930's. The criminals of the 1930's and those pursuing them captured the minds and curiosity of American's children. Dick Tracy, G-Men and many, many strip card sets offered kids a look into the lives of these pursuers and pursued. R61 was one of the many card sets that Michael Pressner (otherwise known as M.P.&Co for other period sets) issued during the 1930's. Most all the sets were issued in 8 card strips and were likely a point-of-sale award for purchasing some type of candy. They were included with the "R" series cards due to this reason.
This complete set of R61 M. Pressner Governmanet Agents vs. Public Enemies cards are in Good to VGEX, averaging VG/VGEX. Great popular set here.
