A rarity even in the world of this ancient tobacco card set, Old Judge (N172)

1887 Arthur Irwin in the rare Bat on Left Shoulder, Heels together (Philadelphias) photo image #244-8a

This is a PSA pop 2 with only 2 graded higher

New PSA holder, new to market

Photos show the exact card the buyer will receive. Wear and tear as follows: a mark on the front and what looks like faded pencil writing on back at top and maybe in bottom right area; a paper crease across the middle, most visibly on the back of the card (see close up images of back and front [blue arrows added by computer and point to crease as it looks on front] to see the difference); image seems a bit faded overall. Positives as follows: Solidly centered, retains some gloss on surface (see photos), modest wear on corners--there are many out there with far more rounded or raggedly worn corners. In fact, I dare say the lower corners seem kind of sharp (see close up in last photo).

One of the few of these to have been graded by PSA and a must have for the set-builder or fan of this interesting pre-MLB pro baseballer.

Will be packaged securely for safe USPS Priority shipping to EBay Authentication Services (required by Ebay). Authentication will add a day or two shipping time, or so has been my experience so far.
