The R41 Dick Tracy set of (144) cards was issued in 1937 by the Walter H Johnson candy company of Chicago, IL. The cards were issued with Dick Tracy Caramels in 1 cent packs.
The set pictured the episodes of Dick Tracy which originally began in 1931. By the time this set was issued, American children were fascinated with the yellow-coated detective and his exploits. The cards picture Tracy and his cast of characters fighting crime and solving problems. A large find of cards numbered 121-144 in very high grade was found in the 1980's and most sets typically have those high number cards in EXMT or better.
This lot includes (18) R41 Dick Tracy Cards, all of which have been graded by PSA. The cards and grades are as follows: PSA8 NMMT (123, 125, 126, 127, 128, 130, 131(2), 136, 137(2), 138, 139, 140, 144) and PSA9 MT (122, 124(2)). Great lot of very high grade 1930's gum cards.
