The N12 Allen & Ginter Fruits set is a (50) card set picturing fruits and a native child for the country the fruit is best associated with. Most of the cards are pastoral scenes of a child holding the fruit or cultivating or harvesting the fruit. The Watermelon, however, pictures an African American boy in an ages old racist depiction. The persimmon pictures an American Indian and both cards are by far the toughest to find in the set. The cards have a checklist back on them and consistently rank as one of the toughest, if not the toughest Allen & Ginter set to complete.
This lot of (7) cards are generally in VG to VGEX condition and mostly clean. The Lotus card has a wavy right border with suspected trimming. The subjects in the lot include: Lotus, Cantaloupe, Mango, Orange, Plaitain, Dates and Shaddock. The lot is perfect for the mid-grade set builder.
