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. Rarely found in high grade, this lot offers the bidder the opportunity to pick up

This lot of (4) cards from the N12 Allen & Ginter Fruits set are all in VGEX to EX condition and very clean for the issue. The subjects in the lot include the following: Dates, Elderberry, Tamarind and Yellow Muscat.
