A fine collection of six (6) non-sport tobacco card sets from the turn of the century. Amazingly, each set is complete, overall presenting at a very nice collector-grade level. This grand collection includes C91: 1908 Flag Girls of All Nations (50), with a mix of Capstan and ‘Vice-Regal Mixture’ backs. A few cards have light back discoloration, creasing or centering issues, else cards are in VG-EX to EX condition; N14: 1888 Allen & Ginter Government and State Capitol Buildings (50). Obverse of cards present in VG-EX or better condition, but most backs have paper loss, showing signs of having been removed from an album; T69: 1911 Historic Homes Series (50), issued by Helmar Cigarettes. Beautiful gold-bordered cards, in overall GD to VG condition. A few cards show creasing, light stamping or some back paper loss; T72: 1909 Hudson-Fulton Series (25), issued by Turkey Red Cigarettes. Overall in GD to VG-EX condition, with a few cards show creasing, light stamping, chipping or light back paper loss; T333: 1910 Piedmont Fairy Tale Stamps (60), in exceptional EX to NM or better condition; T42: 1910 Bird Series of 100, sporting a variety of backs (Piedmont, Mecca, Old Mill, Sweet Caporal, Sovereign and Cycle). A few cards show creasing, light chipping or back paper loss, but overall the group presents in very respectable GD-VG condition. A significant collection of complete sets for the avid non-sport tobacco collector. Total of 335 cards.
