Attractive card of popular 19th Century outfielder Billy Sunday who famously left baseball to become a Midwestern preacher eventually becoming the country's most famous evangelist. As a ballplayer Sunday hit .248 in 8 major league seasons stealing 246 bases (including 84 in 1890). His card graded VG 40 by SGC is classified as pose 446-1 in the book "The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company (1886-1890) and appears to have a strong image with reasonable contrast for the issue along with an undamaged blank back. Some chipping at the bottom right corner is the largest contributor to the assigned grade.
