Card titles are “Dangerous Venture, Borrowed Trouble, Hoppy’s Holiday, False Paradise, Unexpected Guest, Devil’s Playground, The Dead Don’t Dream, Fool’s Gold.” Full list of these titles appear on each card back. “Hoppy’s Holiday” shows the least wear.

Four cards have more moderate margin wear and aging, 2 with minor crease and one with some inking on reverse. VG. Final 3 cards have additional wear, some foil chipping on edges, 2 with creases and one with tack hole at top center. Good. While not a high grade set, these cards are scarce on their own and rarely offered as a complete set.
