Item Description
1.5x2.5". Issued continuously from 1887 to 1890, the Goodwin Company's Old Judge baseball series depicts hundreds of ballplayers from more than 40 major and minor league teams, as well as boxers and wrestlers. Astonishingly, more than 4,500 different types of cards and variations are known to exist. Image presented here is bold with fine contrast, a most important aspect of these Old Judge tobacco cards. In 1886,  Matthew Kilroy had 513 strikeouts, which remains the MLB single-season record as well as as throwing a no-hitter the same year on October 6th.
