Auction #15 - October 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/29/2023
Arguably the most collected set of Allen & Ginter cards along with the N2 Indians, the N28 World's Champions are a beautiful set of 50 cards. The set contains athletes from a number of different sports including 10 baseball players as well as boxers, pedestrians, wrestlers, oarsmen, billiards players and rifle shooters. Among the more famous non-baseball players in the set are Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, Jack Dempsey, Jake Kilrain and John L Sullivan. The 10 baseball players contain 6 players who were subsequently inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame including John Ward, Adrian "Cap" Anson, John Clarkson, Charles Comiskey, and Mike "King" Kelly.
This lot of (17) cards from the N28 Allen & Ginter World's Champions (1st Series) set are in primarily poor condition with multiple issues. There are (4) baseball subjects in the lot including Mulvey, Keefe, Caruthers and Kelly. All (4) are in lower grade or, in the case of Caruthers and Kelly appear to be cut from the album and rebacked. Card fronts present relatively well though for the lot. There are a couple cards in the lot from the N29 (2nd Series) set.
