1941-1942 War Gum (R164)

The 1941 War Gum set of (132) 2-1/2" x 3-1/8" cards were issued Gum Inc. picturing war events, generals and heroes. It began in 1941 and continued into 1942.

The cards were quite similar to Gum Inc.'s Horrors of War set, but with tamer images and more focus on the bravery of the allied forces. Horrors of War seemed to focus more on the atrocities of our enemies.

The backs reminded you to "Buy War Bonds and Stamps for VICTORY." Sadly, this was the last great bubble gum card set issued in the U.S. before the war effort cut off supplies of essential materials.

1938 Horrors of War - Gum Inc.
One of the most famous card sets of all time, it began as a 240-card set featuring the Chinese-Japanese War, the Spanish Civil War and the Ethiopian War. 48 cards were later added on Germany and the buildup to World War II.
Cards #25-192 appear to be slightly more common than the others cards in the series. Cards 241-288 are similar to more recent high numbers in that each pack held one card from the high series and one card from the low series.

The set is extremely popular and card "values" have increased ten-fold since the early 1990s. Cards #1, #240, #277, #283, #286 & #288 are particularly valuable, especially in prime condition.
