In an era when fake news wasn't as prevalent, Allen & Ginter issued the American Editors set in two formats--small and large. The small were cataloged as the first Allen & Ginter set or N1 and the oversized format were cataloged as N35. Both series are great indicators of the power of the press in the late 1880's/early 1890's, picturing real life publishers or editors of many of the most prominent papers of the day. With subjects like Pulitzer, A.H. Belo, George Childs, Charles Dana and Whitelaw Reid and representing papers from New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia and other important cities of the U.S., the set is a popular set to collect.
This lot of (4) American Editors from the N35 Allen & Ginter set have all been graded by PSA and includes the following subjects: Arkin #3 (PSA2 Good), Bickham #11 (PSA2.5 Good+), Colvar #14 (PSA2 Good) and Grady #22 (PSA2 Good). Although the technical grades of the cards in this lot are around Good, they all present well and are generally downgraded to light back issues.
