Presented is a 96-card complete set of R174 Goudey "World War Gum" non-sports cards issued in 1933. This issue features black and white real photos of military leaders and battlefield scenes surrounded by bright gold or orange-colored borders. It was a unique type of issue for the post WW I period and starkly portrayed the war's frightening events which eventually led to the American involvement several years later. Cards are numbered on the reverse with a detailed text below. Grades 28% EX to NM (mostly EX to EX/MT), 50% VG to VG/EX (mostly VG/EX), 22% PR to GD (mostly due to pinholes or back damage).
