Submitted for your consideration is an example from the fabled 1887-90 Old Judge Series, the 19th century pioneering baseball card issue that would mark the launch of the card collecting hobby. The Jerry Denny Bat at Ready 60 Degrees is found here in a PSA 4 holder. Issued by the Goodwin & Co. tobacco firm, the ostensibly 1 7/16-by-2 ½-inch cards picture more than 500 different players from as many as 40 different major and minor-league teams, often with a huge number of pose, team and caption variations.
