Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Only three examples graded higher by PSA. Beautiful high-grade example of Chicago White Stockings Hall of Famer Cap Anson, the key card from the popular N28 Allen & Ginter "World's Champions" series. N28 Allen & Ginter "World's Champions" are considered by many to be the most beautiful of all 19th century tobacco-card issues. This example has bold colors, a crisp image, and strong corners. Boldly printed checklist reverse. Cards from the 19th century are rarely found this sharp. A tremendous high-grade example of one of the most classic of all 19th century baseball cards.
