Goudey or World Wide Gum issued the Jungle Gum set in 1930. The set is 48 cards issued in two series of 24. The first series is numbered 1-24, while the second series is skip numbered from 25-71. The cards picture wild animals typically in jungle settings and have colorful pastel-colored fronts with the characteristic green typeset backs. This set of 48 is a mostly clean EX type set. One of the nicer sets issued early in the "R" candy and gum era.

The condition breakdown is as follows: (35) EXMT or better including some NRMT cards, (11) VGEX to EX cards and (2) lower grade cards--#1 in VG and #3 with some back damage. Generally speaking, the high series cards are in slightly better condition than the low series cards are.
