Pre-War & Forties

1940 Lone Ranger

Fifties

 

Vintage story cards offer a fascinating glimpse into the fads and fantasies of times past - whether they be Science Fiction, Historical Interest, War Stories or Entertainment figures. Competing on the shelves with more popular Sports cards, the Non-Sports issues were frequently found with very colorful and often intricate wrappers and display boxes. In many cases, the wrapper and pack are miniature works or art - often more interesting and appealing than the cards themselves.

Of course, kids of the day may have found the wrappers an enticement, they were no doubt torn open and tossed out with startling regularity. Ironically, this behavior has left the packs, wrappers and boxes tremendously scarcer than the cards they once housed.

We recently added a fantastic collection of vintage Non-Sports Cards wrappers - from 50s icons Elvis Presley and Davy Crockett to the exploits of attacking Martians and Maxwell Smart - we've got it so Check 'em Out!

 

The outstanding color and detail of the artwork fronts and exciting adventures related on the backs make Gum Inc's Lone Ranger series one of the most popular non-sports sets ever issued. There are 48 cards in the set - and while none are particularly easy to find, the last 12 numbers are extremely scarce.

1940 Superman

 

 

 

 

The Gum Inc. 1940 72 card issue of Superman is among the most popular of pre-war issues with collectors. The card fronts feature beautiful color artwork detailing the exploits of the famed super hero - the reverses sport well-written narratives. The cards 49 through 72 are much more difficult to find but the entire issue is fairly scarce and in high demand.

Davy Crockett was rivaled only by Elvis in 1956 as Disney rolled out the multi-part drama on its new television program. Coonskin caps became part of the pre-adolesent experience and trading cards soon followed. Topps released two series of 80 cards in 1956 featuring photos from the series - an initial series of Orange backed cards followed by the tougher series of Green backs.
