R773 Goudey Gum Indian Gum Complete Set of (96) Cards

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/28/2020

The R773 Goudey Indians is the re-issue of (96) cards of the (216) cards from 1933. The R773 series was issued around 1947 although some claim to have seen them as late as the early 1950's. The cards are numbered 1-96 and there aren't any variations to them as there are with the 1933 R73 series. As such, although collectible, they don't enjoy the same interest as their counterparts of 14 years earlier. The backs are black on them and they are more often found in slightly higher grade. Many of the same subjects are contained in the R773 set and subjects such as Sitting Bull and Pocahantas, Daniel Boone, Davie Crockett, Jim Bridger, Colonel Bowie and others may command a premium based on subject collectors.

This set is a very clean set overall. The condition breakdown on the (96) card set includes VGEX to EX or better (59 cards or 61%), GVG to VG (21 cards or 22%) and G or lesser (16 cards or 17%). The cards mostly have vibrant fronts and the majority of the lower graded cards are only graded that way due to corner wear or mild creasing. Overall a very pleasant set that, with a few upgrades, could become a very nice mid-grade set.
