The N88 Duke Tobacco Terrors of America set was a comical set issued picturing young boys in various activities that might have been considered problematic in the 1880's--giving rise to people calling these boys "Terrors". Five or six of the cards picture baseball scenes--a bat or ball in the picture--or mention umpires or some other baseball term. These cards typically are more popular due to baseball collectors picking them up for type cards for baseball sets.
This complete set of (50) N88 Duke Terrors of America runs the gamut in condition from Poor to EX. About 30% of the set has some level of back damage with the rest falling in the VG to EX range. Great base to start upon and, with some upgrades, wind up with a nice mid-grade set.
