Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction November 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/28/2023
A classic with 19th century collectors and a must have accompaniment piece to a complete set of cards, the 1888 A36 Goodwin "Champions album features images of all 50 cards from the N162 Old Judge & Gypsy Queen series. Baseball players in the series include Anson, Kelly, Keefe, Dunlap, Brouthers, Glasscock, Caruthers and Andrews. While the N162 cards were issued in tobacco packs, the much rarer premium albums could only be obtained by mail in exchange for coupons packaged with Old Judge & Gypsy Queen tobacco. Complete, although some pages are detached, there is some water staining to the front cover (the back cover with baseball images is fairly clean, with a few creases visible), with this present on the first baseball page around the borders. The page also has a crease over the image of Cap Anson. Each page in the book also shows some spotting to the reverse, with a few pages showing surface wear and the odd small crease. While not in high grade, the album displays nicely and will definitely please any discriminating collector.
