The R109 Gum Inc Pirate Pictures set is a 72 card set that pictures scenes of daily Pirate life. The cards are condition sensitive often found with surface issues as it seems the paper stock wasn't the best. Three cards in the set are prohibitively difficult to locate and give set collectors fits trying to find them. There is no known explanation on what the reason for that is as well.
The success of many of the U.S. Issues from Gum Inc allowed them to license their images for issuance outside the U.S. The R109 Pirate Picture Cards were also issued in Spain in a similar sized set (72) with a companion album.
This lot is for The Spanish Pirates set in the original album. The album is in about VG cndition with a small tear to the front. The interior pages have the cards glued in which range from VGEX to NRMT. Great collectible for the Pirate collector.
