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.
This lot of (97) R60 Gum Inc G-Men and the Heroes of the Law are in very nice VG to EX+ condition, averaging around VGEX to EX. There are (13) 200 series and (4) 300 series cards in this lot as well as #127 (VGEX). The 200 and 300 series cards are in very nice VGEX to EX condition. This lot would make a very good base to build upon to craft a nice midgrade set of 168 cards from this very popular 1930's gum set.
