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.
This lot includes (14) N9 Allen & Ginter flag cards. The cards are a mixture of backs with a pair of "Virginia Brights" variation fronts (English Pennant and Union Jack and Peru). The condition of the cards ranges from Poor to near EX with most in the GVG/VG range. Great starter lot for a lower midgrade set.
