With their variations in the thousands these cards compose one of the fascinating sets in the hobby. Rarely does such a unique specimen surface especially one of this caliber, graded VG by PSA. Blessed with a strong, crisp image of “Pop” that radiates from the surface of the sepia-toned photograph, set on thick cardboard. Originally issued by the Goodwin & Co. tobacco firm in their Old Judge and, to a lesser extent, Gypsy Queen cigarettes. A true piece of baseball card culture.
