 Lot 342. 1904 Ogden’s Cigarettes “Fowls, Pigeons & Dogs” Set of 50 Graded by PSA. This set invites thoughts of things “going to the dogs” or being “for the birds,” or maybe pigeons “coming home to roost.” But for the sake of sophistication, we’ll avoid all that. This set comprises 23 cards depicting dogs, 15 with chickens or ducks, and 12 with pigeons that don’t look much like the variety that hang out in Pittsburgh’s Market Square or on the roof of the farmhouse down the road. The cards have color fronts and informational backs. The grades for the set follow. PSA NM 7: 1 card. EX-MT 6: 5 cards. EX+ 5.5: 3 cards. EX 5: 4 cards. VG-EX 4: 14 cards. VG 3: 14 cards. GOOD + 2.5: 4 cards. GOOD 2:5 cards. By animal, the grades fall this way. DOGS: 3 cards EX-MT 6, 3 EX+ 5.5, 1 EX 5, 4 VG-EX 4, 9 VG 3, 1 GOOD+ 2.5 and 3 GOOD 2. FOWL: 1 card NM 7, 1 EX-MT 6, 2 EX 5, 6 VG-EX 4, 1 VG 3, 2 GOOD + 2.5 and 2 GOOD 2. PIGEONS: 1 EX-MT 6, 1 EX 5, 4 VG-EX 4, 5 VG 3 and 1 GOOD+ 2.5.
