The R50 First Column Defenders by the Goudey Gum Company is a (24) card set picturing patriotic pictures at a time when the world was blowing up into World War II. It is one of many such patriotic sets, issued in 1940 right before the United States entered World War II. The cards picture colorful representations of the different armed services as well as other patriotic US symbols like the US Flag, an eagle, Uncle Sam and others.
This near set of (19/24) cards from the R50 Goudey First Column Defenders set are largely in VG to EXMT condition and very clean. Three of the cards have been graded by PSA and include the following subjects: #6 The American Eagle (PSA4 VG-EX), #13 Generals in the Making (PSA4 VG-EX) and #14 The Light of Liberty (PSA4 VG-EX). The wrapper included is in EXMT condition and very clean. With just a few additions, this could be a great mid-grade R50 First Column set.
