The N9 Allen & Ginter Flags - Series 1 set is a variation collector's dream. The set pictures 50 different named subjects but has variations on both the front and the back that allow for the set to be collected in a number of different ways. There are eight cards that can be found with a fancy variation--some of which are difficult and some that are prohibitively difficult. The backs can be found with block script, curved script and "right bower" brand backs. The fronts can also be found with "Virginia Brights" tagline advertising as well as both Ginter and Ginter's noted on the front. All told, there are currently believed to be approximately 291 different variations.
The Roumania card from the N9 Allen & Ginter Flags of All Nations set is one of the tougher cards to find of the regular cards in the set. Many sets of N9 are known with very few having the Roumania card. This card appears to have been cut from a sheet possibly with jagged, uneven margins all around. There are surface abrasions on both the front and the back. The card is in poor condition but is rarely seen in any condition. Great set filler and completer until a better condition card comes along.
