Item Description
The 24 cards in this set are numbered 97-120 as numbering continued from the standard set of 96 cards. However, these cards are much rarer making them one of the most desirable and elusive gum card sets of any era. The cards are rare due to licensing issues concerning the likenesses of the stars used on the cards so these cards had a very short distribution run. Issued in 1935 by Gum Inc. ACC# R90. Card fronts feature choice art of Mickey w/a movie star done in caricature style. Backs have text relating to the front image/star w/a blank line where the star's name was to be filled in. All backs remain unused. Stars include: Groucho and Harpo Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Mae West, Jimmy Durante, Laurel and Hardy, Edward G. Robinson, Greta Garbo, Eddie Cantor and more. All have been graded by PSA. Grades and number of cards per grade are as follows -
VG/EX 4 (8) - #98, 104-105, 110-111, 113, 116-117
VG 3 (6) - #100-101, 109, 118-120
Good 2 (10) - #97, 99, 102-103, 106-108, 112, 114-115
Set GPA is 2.92.  An item highly, and equally, coveted by Non-Sports card and Disney collectors.
