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 on this R78 Goudey Jungle Gum complete set is narrowly between VGEX and Near Mint with most cards being in the EX/EXMT category. Eleven of the (48) card set were previously graded by PSA. They have been removed from the cases and the flips are with the set. They are: #5 (PSA4 VG-EX), #17 (PSA6 EX-MT (MK)), #31 (PSA5 EX), #43 (PSA5 EX), #47 (PSA5 EX), #49 (PSA5.5 EX+), #51 (PSA5 EX), #53 (PSA5 EX), #61 (PSA5.5 EX+), #63 (PSA6 EX-MT) and #69 (PSA7 NM). Very clean set that would slot into a strong 1930's gum card collection.
