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.

Arthur Irwin nicknamed "Doc", "Sandy", "Cutrate" or "Foxy", was a Canadian-American shortstop and manager in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the late nineteenth century. He played regularly in the major leagues for eleven years, spending two of those seasons as a player-manager. Arthur Irwin was inducted in the Canadian Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1989.
