Revisiting is a nice term for getting old stuff slabbed for protection reasons....plus pre-war and 19th century cardboard looks extra nice in a tuxedo. One of these cards was acquired almost 3 years ago and the other was snatched up 13 and a half years ago.
George Washington out of the 1889 Kinney Brothers N222 Leaders set is the first card I decided to throw into a slab. Washington crossing the Delaware is a fun added touch to his portrait.
William Fly, one of the pirates in the N19 Pirates of The Spanish Main set from an 1888 Allen & Ginter release, is next up. Like George, both present very well for their technical grades of 1 (with Willie looking even better than his predecessor).
The backs on old, old stuff usually do not disappoint -- so here are both.
