Item Description
1.5 x 2.75". The 1888 Allen and Ginter (N-28) The World Champions set consists of 50 cards and were inserted in cigarette boxes manufactured by the Richmond, Virginia company. The series, considered one of the most attractive of all offerings, is anchored by its ten baseball players including six eventual Hall of Famers.

Charles Wesley Bennett was an American professional baseball player from 1875 or 1876 through the 1893 season. He played 15 years in Major League Baseball, principally as a catcher, with the Milwaukee Grays (49 games, 1878), Worcester Ruby Legs (51 games, 1880), Detroit Wolverines (625 games, 1881-1888) and Boston Beaneaters (337 games, 1889-1893). He played on four pennant-winning teams, one in Detroit and three in Boston, and is one of only two players (the other being Ned Hanlon) to play with the Detroit Wolverines during all eight seasons of the club's existence.
