1888 Allen & Ginter World Champions
This was Allen & Ginter's second tobacco cards issue, spurred by the success of the previous effort. The American Card Catalog designation for this series is N29.
This card set contains 50 cards total, each measuring appx. 1-1/2"x2-3/4". The cards are unnumbered.
Card fronts feature a color lithograph of the subject, position and team (if applicable). This set differs from the previous in that the Allen & Ginter name does not appear on the card fronts. The backs offer a list of athletes in the series with the company logo at the bottom.
An album to hold the set of cards could be obtained by sending 50 Allen & Ginter cigarette coupons to the company. The album has its own ACC number: A17.
Only six baseball players were included in this set. They are:
- Wm. Ewing
- Jas. H. Fogarty
- Charles H. Getzin
- Geo. F. Miller
- John Morrell
- James Ryan
