One of our favorite of all the early Exhibits cards picturing Brooklyn's Zach Wheat at the end of what appears to have been a ferocious swing. The card has been graded VG 3 (MK) by PSA with some minor wear consistent with the grade. The "MK" qualifier is a result of a back stamp advertising WL Douglas Shoes. That company was the company owend by William Lewis Douglas the 42nd Governor of Massachusetts. Douglas opened his shoe company in 1876 and by the early 1900s had more than 50 stores nationwide. The store in question appears to have been located in College Point a neighborhood in the boro of Queens New York. An interesting back stamp appealing to type collectors.
