Certification number 1357379-247 is printed on the SGC label.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Graded SGC FAIR 1.5 — a well-worn, low-grade example. Consistent with the grade, this card shows significant handling wear including creasing, rounded and chipped corners, edge wear, and surface toning, all visible in the photos. This is an honest, affordable copy of an 80+ year-old pre-war card; please review the images closely and rely on the third-party grade for condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGum, Inc. — the Philadelphia company that would later become Bowman — issued the 120-card “World in Arms” set in 1939 as global tensions built toward World War II, cataloging the military aircraft, ships, and armaments of the world’s powers, and posing the question “Can America Maintain Peace with The World in Arms?” on each card back. This card depicts the Japanese destroyer Fubuki, lead ship of a class that was genuinely revolutionary in its day — the Fubuki-class “special type” destroyers introduced enclosed gun mounts and heavy torpedo armament that set a new world standard for destroyer design in the late 1920s. The real Fubuki served in WWII and was sunk at the Battle of Cape Esperance in October 1942. The card’s image and title, depicting the destroyer’s searchlights trained on a junk it is about to sink, reflect the militarized tone of the pre-war set. Pre-war Gum, Inc. issues like this are collected both as early bubblegum-card history and as WWII-era militaria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B\u0026R Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67396954226733,"sku":"EB-318609916566","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/8160\/0045\/files\/57_50e9ffaf-720f-4769-a545-e58da5eabb07.jpg?v=1787432985","url":"https:\/\/brcollectibles.co\/products\/1939-gum-inc-world-in-arms-ships-4-japanese-destroyer-fubuki-sgc-1-5-fair","provider":"B\u0026R Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
