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 John Montgomery Ward card that has been conservatively graded as SGC3 or VG. This is a very clean, lower midgrade card. The only downfall of this card appears to be a couple of tick marks on the back checklist in very light pencil. This card would be a welcome addition to any 19th century collection or midgrade N28 set.
