Outstanding 1888 N29 Allen & Ginter World's Champions complete set of 50 cards glued onto a pair of vintage album pages probably sometime in the late 1880's or early 1890's. Included in the beautiful N29 set are baseball players Buck Ewing(HOF) George Miller Jim Fogerty James Ryan Charles Getzin and John Morrell. All these appear to be in great NM condition from the front and are located on the middle of a page. The incredible color imagery on these cards is still bright and fresh after all these years protected by being placed inside an album. The 11 1/2" by 16 3/4" pages each have 25 cards per page lined up neatly 3 rows across. One card is loose T. Ray. It was removed by an amateur(small card shop owner near where consignor lived) which resulted in extensive loss of paper to the back. Both pages are in very good shape when compared to the brittle nature common to most of the others from this vintage find.(The non-sport sets were sold earlier this year) The vast majority of cards present in EX-MT to NM or better from the front. The reason there were so many complete sets with so many different cards in this collection with no duplication stems the fact that the original owner a relative of the consignor worked for the company that produced them. Beautiful group!
