Each card has been graded by PSA. Offered is a 17-card collection of N40 "Game Birds" produced by Allen & Ginter 1890. With its 3.47 GPA (Set Rating: 1.22), this assembly merits "#3 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry! These bird-themed non-sports cards are the very creatures upon which hunters (in the 19th Century, as now) dream of training their guns! The would-be shooter's fantasies come to life nicely through the lavishly colored images on these lithographed cards, each of which also features a complementary border design. Includes: Graded PSA EX-MT 6: 1 card, California Partridge; PSA EX 5: 4 cards w/American Snake Bird, Louisiana Heron, Pheasant and Red Head Duck; PSA VG-EX 4: 4 cards w/American Oyster Catcher (MK), Canada Grouse, Clapper Rail and Mallard Duck; PSA VG+ 3.5: 1 card, Sandpiper; PSA VG 3: 1 card, Golden Plover; PSA GD+ 2.5: 3 cards w/American Partridge; Green-Winged Teal and Kildeer Plover; PSA GD 2: 2 cards w/Canada Goose and Rock Ptarmigan; PSA PR 1: 1 card, Little Sandpiper.
