Despite being heavily trimmed and worn, a very scarce and desirable example picturing Allen Granberry Thurman, who ran for Vice President in 1888 with Grover Cleveland.  An interesting issue and early example of "vintage Photoshop," the 23-card set featured the heads political hopefuls, superimposed over the bodies of female baseball players. One of the less frequently-seen cards from the issue, desirable in any grade.
