Inaugural January 2019 Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/27/2019
This lot contains three Allen & Ginter albums from issues that have corresponding card sets. They are the A5 City Flags album, the A7 Fish from American Waters album and the A10 General Government and State Capitol Buildings album. All three suffer from some condition issues but are good copies until a cleaner one comes along. The A5 City Flags album pictures Chicago New York and Philadelphia on the front with a group of marching cherubs holding flags from cities across the world. The cover has pieces missing on the right side border and on the left side at the lower binding hole. In addition, it has moderate corner wear--especially to the upper right and lower left corners with a pretty heavy crease into the piece missing on the right. The back cover has some creasing but is mostly presentable with a clean, original binding string. The A7 Fish from American Waters album has some flaking on the front cover in the upper part of the fish as well as some light creasing on the spine side and wear to the corners. The original string binding is loose--especially at the center hole on the left. The back cover is mostly clean with just some light creasing but is very presentable. The A10 General Government and State Capitol Buildings album suffers the most condition issues with heavy masking tape to the front and back cover on the spne side and some scotch tape on the back cover to the open side. The original string has been replaced as well. This would be a good reading copy of this album. Interior pages for the three albums are in VG type condition and mostly clean.
