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, #9, #34 and #59 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 three were right next to each other in the lower right corner of the sheet they were on so it is possible it was a cutting issue that caused them to be so difficult to locate.
This complete set of R109 Gum Inc Pirates Pictures is missing #34 to be complete. The majority of the cards run from GVG to EX with most being around VG/VGEX. The set has an even look throughout and is one of the tougher mainstream Gum Inc sets to complete from the 1930's.
