Here we have a seldom-seen complete set of “G-Men & Heroes of the Law”, issued by Gum Inc. in 1936. This is one of the nonsport world’s all-time classic sets, featuring exciting stories about "G-Men and Famous Police Organizations and Heroes of the Law." These cards chronicle law enforcement in an era that glamorized both the representatives of law enforcement as well as famous criminals. Serious collectors know that "G-Men & Heroes of the Law" is seldom seen as a complete set – for years, collectors have had to contend with the set having five extreme rarities (#28, 57, 88, 94, and 100), numerous other rare cards, 48 high-number cards (#201-451), as well as skip-numbering, making the completion of this set very challenging. Well, the wait is over - here we have a complete world-class set, ready for the lucky high bidder! The cards grade as follows: - low-number series (#1-196): 5% NM or better, 15% EX-MT, 25% EX, 25% VG-EX, 20% VG, 10% lesser. - high-number series (#201-451): 10% NM or better, 15% EX-MT, 15% EX, 15% VG-EX, 20% VG, 25% slightly lesser.  PSA graded examples include #28 EX+ 5.5, #57 VG-EX 4, #88 VG-EX 4(MK), #94 FR 1.5 and #100 VG-EX 4.
