Auction #15 - October 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/29/2023
The Allen & Ginter Editors set of the late 1880's conveyed just how much importance was placed on the power of the pen. Many of the editors pictured in the set were some of the most powerful men in the United States at the time. Pulizter, Belo and many more. The 50 card set employed great lithography and the cards were numbered on the back. This set, like some of the other A&G sets, seems to have used possibly some type of coating on the front which make them susceptible to flaking of the surface.
This lot of (19) cards from the N1 Allen & Ginter American Editors set are largely in GVG to VGEX condition and clean with clean, complete backs. There are at least (3) cards with some staining or paper loss on the backs of the cards.
