The T59 Flags of All Nations series is a 200 card set that was issued in series of (50) cards by a number of manufacturers with what has been recognized as about 40 different backs. Studies have been done suggesting that there are over 7500 front/back combinations by which to collect the T59 series and there are people who are attempting to collect them that way. I'm not sure how this compares to the T206 baseball number of back combinations but it has to be close if not more.
This lot includes a group of (15) SGC-Graded T59 Flag cards to include the following subjects: Austria-Hungary (SGC80, Recruit), Samoa (SGC55, Blue Scrap Iron Scrap), Malta (SGC55, Blue Big Run Cigarros), Intl Code E,F,G,H (SGC40, Red Sweet Cap Little Cigars), Society Islands (SGC70, Recruit), Samoa (SGC70, Recruit), New Zealand (SGC50, Recruit), Tonkin (SGC50, Recruit overprint), Turkey Royal Standard (SGC60, Recruit overprint), Dutch East Indies (SGC50, Recruit), Denmark Royal Standard (SGC50, Recruit), Ionian Isles (SGC50, Recruit), Japan Man-o-War (SGC35, Recruit), Paris (SGC50, Recruit) and Portugal (SGC50, Recruit). Great lot for the set builder.
