Background

The R13-2 "American G-Men" series is the second of the two different "American G-Men" trading card sets. The 48 "portrait" (vertically aligned) cards of this series are consequently numbered from 701 to 748. The set title is located on the front of the card in a red panel at the top of each card. The card number is noted on the front of the card in a red circle. Each card contains the following caption, "YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH IT" located in a yellow rectangular panel at the bottom of the card front. Just above this caption, on the lower right-hand-section there is a green rectangular box that contains the individual card title. The subject artwork for the individual cards is presented within a "Police Shield" outline. The artwork for the series is rather simplistic, but effective.

The reverse side of the card starts off with the card number and title line at the top of the cad. Just below the title line, is the following credit statement: "From the records of the Crime Detection Department of the City, State, and Nation." This is followed by a lengthy "story" about the subject. The bottom of each card contains the following promotion line: "This is one in a series of 48 exciting picture cards of thrilling stories of crooks and cops."

The manufacturer of the set is unknown. The American Card Catalog reference number is R13-2.
