Among the architects of our national game, the offered 1887 Allen & Ginter N28 piece of Charles Comiskey is a definite prize. Determined to be a "40" by SGC, this card exhibits rounded corners, minimal soiling and a black marking on the front. The reverse exhibits the minimal browning often associated with the set. Comiskey's detailed head-shot cascades amongst a luminous multi-colored background. An admirable piece from one of the first tobacco series.
