The T57 Turkish Trophies Fable Series is a (100) card set picturing illustrated scenes from famous fables such as "The Turtle and the Hare" and "The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs". The complete set is actually comprised by a pair of (50) card sets numbered 1 to 50 and 51 to 100. It is believed that the two sets were issued roughly between 1910 and 1912. The fronts of the cards picture the illustration with a deep golden border often found with condition issues. The backs are printed in black with an ad for Turkish Trophies and a brief capsule about the scene on the front of the card.
This lot of (55/100) T57 Turkish Trophies Fables Series cards are in Good to VGEX, averaging primarily in the VG range. Four cards have been graded including a pair of SGC50 or VG-EX copies and a pair of SGC40 or VG cards. Great lot for the set builder.
