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 lot is for a single copy of the Mike "King" Kelly card that has been graded as SGC7 NM. This card is in phenomenal shape for being 130 years old. The corners are crisp and both the front and back of the card retain their original luster. Just a beautiful card and would be a great addition to any N28 or 19th century collection.
