The W528-4 Rosan John F Kennedy set is a (64) card set picturing the life of John F. Kennedy. The set is one of a number of sets Rosan issued in the 1960's. It is printed on average stock using only black and white, so it isn't one of the most popular series.
It’s now been almost 60 years since the assassination of John F Kennedy, and the
psyche of a whole generation of America is still scarred by the memory of that day. Shortly after
his death, Rosan honored the memory of the fallen president with a set of 64 cards featuring
black-and-white photos of him and his family, with some descriptive narrative on the back. Cards
from this series are common, but because of printing issues, it is tough to obtain well-centered
specimens. This set has many well-centered cards, interspersed with some off-center specimens.
Included are specimens of the three cards #15,16 and 45, which were issued with the fronts
flipped around the vertical axis, yielding a total of 67 cards. All cards mounted in Cardsaver 1
plastic holders & displayed in plastic pages inside a sturdy looseleaf binder. Beautiful NM
condition overall.
Originating in the collection of a very advanced PSA collector, this set and a number of others in the auction are high mid-grade sets mostly free of creases and individually sleeved in semi-rigids housed in 4 pocket pages in binders. As with this set, many of the sets are mostly ungraded with some nice or key cards graded as noted.
