The N15 Allen & Ginter Generals set is arguably one of, if not the most beautiful A&G set. The lithography on the cards is superb and the coloring pops on high grade examples. This set is just that--a high grade set averaging in the VGEX to EX+ range. The 50 card sets contains famous generals throughout history. While the bulk of the generals in the set were in the recently completed U.S. Civil War, there are also famous generals like Caesar, Napoleon, Cornwallis, Hannibal and George Washington, among others. This is one of a few Allen & Ginter sets that seem to have surface issues and are commonly found with some level of flaking on the front. This set does not suffer from that issue.
This lot of (21) cards are in mixed condition from lower mid-grade to lower grade cards. (14) of the cards would fall squarely into the VG to lower VGEX condition with the rest being in lower poor to GVG type condition. The Lee card has paper loss on the front as does the Garfield card. The Napoleon card has front paper loss on the lower left corner. This would be a nice lot for the set builder who is not as concerned about condition on this typically very expensive set.
