Help With 1888 Allen Ginter N28
I was at an antique shop today and came across an Allen & Ginter's Theo Bauer wrestler card. I didn't purchase the card...but maybe I should have. I am trying to understand the set as I am completely unfamiliar with it. I am attaching an image I found online of the same card. I see it listed as an 1888 N28 on CardTarget, yet there is the same card graded through PSA listed as a 1887 N28 on the slab.
Can someone give me a brief explanation of this set and what information is correct? I appreciate it. |

Allen & Ginter's, not Allen Ginter. Sorry.

neat card
from a nice 19th century "blue chip" set. In decent condition figure it's a 50. card. I'm not sure if the actual production date of the cards has been pinned down to a specific date. In general they are referred to with both dates. The second set followed about a year later and is presumed to be 1889 before the ATC mergers. The set of 50 is available in a variety of conditions and has a wide range of stars in different disciplines. Prices remain fairly steady and there's plenty of prior sales history to consume. The population of cards that survived is quite high due to the popularity (although waning at the time) of scrap book albums and the cards can be found in a few different venues.

John Clarkson was sold to Boston on April 3, 1888. Since he wears a Boston uniform in the set, the 1888 date appears to be correct.
