Arguably the most collected set of Allen & Ginter cards along with the N2 Indians, the N28 World's Champions are a beautiful set of 50 cards. The set contains athletes from a number of different sports including 10 baseball players as well as boxers, pedestrians, wrestlers, oarsmen, billiards players and rifle shooters. Among the more famous non-baseball players in the set are Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, Jack Dempsey, Jake Kilrain and John L Sullivan. The 10 baseball players contain 6 players who were subsequently inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame including John Ward, Adrian "Cap" Anson, John Clarkson, Charles Comiskey, and Mike "King" Kelly. This set is missing those 10 baseball players but the other 40 cards are in phenomenal condition.

This single N28 Allen & Ginter World's Champions (1st Series) card of John L Sullivan, at first glance, appears to be in VG condition but has some peeling of the back surface on the card rendering it in Poor condition. Great filler card until that better condition one comes along.
