Graded VG/EX 50 by SGC. Very attractive example of the legendary Buffalo Bill from the colorful N162 Goodwin Champions set. Buffalo Bill is the key non-baseball card from this very popular fifty-card set issued by Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Cigarettes. It is also one of the most striking cards in the set. Buffalo Bill is uniquely designed in the N162 set, with his name in large red lettering in the blue sky background. This example is clean and beautifully centered, with bright, flawless colors. Light, even corner rounding and a pair of wrinkles on the reverse account for the assigned grade. N162 Goodwin Champions are considered by many to be the most beautiful of all nineteenth-century tobacco cards. The set features champions and stars of the day from a wide variety of sports. This is an extremely attractive card. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
