1887-1890 Old Judge N172 REPRINT: James W. "Bug" Holliday, Red Stockings / Reds

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist. . . 1887-1890 Old Judge tobacco card (N172) #72 - JAMES "Bug" HOLLIDAY ~ Cincinnati Reds Owner of a lifetime .312 average, Holliday began with Cincy's American Association entry as a rookie and spent his entire career with the Reds - the last 9 in the National League. He was twice league home run champ. 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 120 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.
