One of the truly extraordinary non-sport issues is presented here in highly collectible grades, all blessed and duly entombed by PSA and all boasting vivid colors that helped to make the issue a delight for generations of collectors. With often grisly artwork depicting scenes from the Japanese-China War, the Ethiopian War and the Spanish Civil War proffered to American youngsters in the months leading up to the second world war, the low series of the 2 ½-by-3 ½-inch Horrors Series would later be augmented by a high series that included early depictions of Hitler and the Third Reich. This outstanding array of Low-Number Series cards is largely PSA 5 and above (75 percent), with only a handful of cards below. The breakdown: PSA 8 (3) – No. 99 o/c, No. 128 m/c and No. 130 m/c; PSA 7 (6) – No. 44 o/c, 87, 101 o/c, 109 o/c, 162 and 177 o/c; PSA 6 (4) – No. 53 m/c, 65, 70 and 134; PSA 5.5 (2) – No. 56 and No. 68; PSA 5 (11) – No. 41, 71 m/c, 79, 85, 88, 91, 94, 105 m/c, 116, 158 and 176; PSA 4.5 (3) – No. 23, No. 93 and No. 154; PSA 4 (3) – No. 78, No. 122 and No. 163; and PSA 3 – No. 113.
