Item Description
1930s by Gum Inc. Album is 6x10” Vol. 1 for cards numbered 1-48. Cards are 2.5x3". This is the first version with cover art featuring a more primitive Mickey while back cover features same image of Mickey that appears on the gum wrapper for this set. Also, this cover is without the “Property” blank line at lower left that appears on the revised album (see item #2201). This cover text reads “Gags By Hal Horne” which does not appear on the revised album. Sixteen pages for mounting cards along with corresponding text. Neatly mounted at appropriate spots are 33 of the 48 cards. These are – 1-4, 7, 8, 10-22, 24, 31, 33, 35-39, 41, 43, 45-48. Cover has moderate scattered aging with some small surface paper rubs, few stain spots on back. Pages lightly aged but for the most part remain clean. Album itself VG/Fine. Nearly all of the cards remain quite bright and clean with just small traces of margin wear/aging. For the most part, corners remain sharp. As mounted, cards grade Exc.-Mint to N. Mint. Cards in much nicer condition than usually found when mounted.
