Graded EX 60 by SGC. 1887 N173 Goodwin Old Judge cabinet card of Hall of Famer Roger Connor of the New York Giants (hands on knees pose). This is one of the most impressive of all Roger Connor cards. All Old Judge cabinets are extremely desirable, and examples of Hall of Famers are naturally especially highly prized. The image on this card is very bold with strong contrast. Very clean, both front and back. This extremely high-grade example is one of a recent exciting find of four N173s, all new to the hobby, which miraculously included three Hall of Famers. All are consigned to this auction. This is an exceptional Hall of Famer example from one of the nineteenth-century's most revered sets. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000. SOLD FOR $8,812.50
