One of the more challenging Hall of Famers in the N172 issue, Hoss Radbourn is featured with no fewer than six different poses in the issue, this portrait photo second only to his "obscene gesture" pose in terms of overall desrability.  This example, clearly, has had the tobacco advertisement trimmed from the top of the card, one of several similar Hall of Famers featured in this auction.  Despite the trim and a slight bit of soiling, along with paper loss on the reverse, the image itself presents well, with strong clarity and contrast.  The card was returned by SGC as unable to holder, but is regardless a difficult card, a more affordable example of an important N172 Hall of Famer.
