N222 Kinney Leaders Complete Set of (25) Cards

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/24/2021

The Kinney Leaders set of (25) cards, classified as N222 in the ACC, is one of the most popular Kinney sets made. As it's a 25 card set, it is easy to collect and complete. The set pictures attractive graphics of a bust of the leader with a vignette below of an action scene that they would be known for. The backs have a checklist and notes the set name and advertisement for Kinney Brothers High Class Cigarettes. The cards can be found in both a wide and narrow version, the difference being only about 1/8" to 3/16". It is unknown why the two versions exist but could possibly be explained by different package sizing for the distribution of the cigarettes.

This complete set of N222 Kinney Leaders is in Good to EX condition with most cards falling into the VG/VGEX range. The set is a mixture of narrow and wide versions with most cards being narrow. There are 2-3 cards with some type of back issue but overall the set is very pleasing with clean fronts and clean backs.
