Overview
The Don’t Let It Happen Over Here
(R44) 24-card set was issued during 1938 by the International Chewing Gum Company, Cambridge, Massachusetts. This set is similar too, but much smaller than the 288-card Horrors of War
set issued by Gum Inc. during 1938. This 24-card set features known worldwide atrocities that were being committed prior to the official outbreak of World War II. The color artwork for the set is primitive but effective. The card backs feature the card number, title, descriptive text, and advertising.
It should be noted that this card set is rare, and commands premium prices for higher-grade cards. For example, the average price for an EX card in 2007, was $70. During 2020, higher grade cards were going for $300+ per card on eBay. If you have extremely deep pockets, you might want to take on the challenge of collecting the set. Lots of luck!
The cards measure 63 × 80 mm, and are assigned the American Card Catalog reference number R44.
