1887-1890 Old Judge N172 REPRINT: John Clarkson, Chicago White Stockings (Cubs)

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . 1887-1890 Old Judge tobacco card (N172) [#38] - John Clarkson ~ Chicago White Stockings (Cubs) John Clarkson's baseball numbers (328 wins, .648 win pct., 2.81 ERA & 1978 K's) led to his (eventual) 1963 election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. REPRINT ~ Near-Mint "N172" (actually, simply "172") - the "N" (for 19th century) being added in later years - is the designation Jefferson Burdick in his American Card Catalog decades ago gave Goodwin & Company's Old Judge and Gypsy Queen cards of 1887-1890. Original cards from this set are now more than 125 years old and an individual card of the most common player will cost hundreds of dollars in top condition. This card is reproduced in close-to-the- original 1-7/16" by 2-1/2" size (being 1/1/2" by 2-1/2") and features a black and white posed photograph on thin cardboard stock. The back has a snappy little biography (frequently with reference to the Old Judge issue) below the player's name and card number and closes with mention of that fact that the card is a REPRINT. Here is an opportunity to acquire a reprint of a very scarce card at a affordable price. Condition: Near-Mint Collecting Tip: for those seeking detailed information regarding Old Judge cards - and especially N172's, we recommend (and sell) The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Co. ~ 1886-1890, the encyclopedic 459-page hardbound book.
