Group was designed to have 15 cards but comes with an additional board with different image of Queenie to make a total of 16 originals. Group also includes six additional sheets with small designs for pieces never used, not shown in our photos. Art boards have been wrapped in cellophane which is torn on a few. Cellophane is taped on back with cellophane tape which is yellowed. Several have loose or missing printed paper captions and board margins have some glue stains and editorial notes in blank areas. Image areas are bright and Fine/VF overall. Extremely well done with nice detail. From the archives of premium creators Sam & Gordon Gold, accompanied by a letter to that effect from Gordon Gold.
