World Wide Gum issued the R124 Sea Raiders set on a theme that was very popular--Pirates. The cards are very popular today as they can be collected in a number of different ways. The set was issued in two series--a low and a high. The low series are relatively plentiful and can be completed without a significant amount of trouble. The high series (#25-48) have become very difficult to find and one card in particular--the map card--has taken off in price and seems to be even more difficult to find as of late.
The U.S. versions of the cards can be found with English Only backs and with English and French backs for all (48) cards. The Canadian version of the cards can also be found with both backs and they exist only for the low series. A total of 148 cards could be had between all series for both U.S. and Canadian versions.
This single R124 World Wide Gum Sea Raiders is of the subject #21 Sir Francis Drake that is in Fair to Good condition but displays very nicely.
