Item Description
2x3". Near set, 13 of 14. ACC# R115. Cards feature presidents Lincoln through Coolidge and are numbered 16-30 w/Cleveland numbered 22/24 and counting as just one of the 14. Only card missing is #21 Arthur. It has never been uncovered why the set starts at #16 w/Lincoln and at this point we most likely will never know. Issued by Gold Brand Confectionery, Inc of Allston, MA and this was their one and only card set. Fronts feature portrait illustration w/related additional image under this. Backs have bios and all are blue text variety. Bottom margin of each, which includes the card number, has a redemption offer for "Picture Puzzle Weekly". Bottom panels were to be cut and sent in to obtain this but all examples offered here are complete w/this panel intact. Back text notes "Return Complete Set Of Numbers 16-30." The CGC grades for the set breakdown as follows - 5 EX (1), 4.5 VG-EX+ (4), 4 VG-EX (1), 3.5 VG+ (3) and 3 VG (4). Comes w/6x6.25" wax paper wrapper. Has jigsaw puzzle design at center. Scattered creases as originally folded, additional wear and aging including 1" and 1.5" tears top right, 1" tear lower right edge. Good but a rare wrapper for a scarce card series. John Grossman Collection.
