Similar to an N172 Old Judge in design, the N175 cards contain advertising for Goodwin's Gypsy Queen brand, issued in two different sizes (with identical images) that bear the same ACC designation.  The small format cards are virtually identical to N172 cards save for the advertisement outside the arched border at the top.  The cards are scarce enough that the checklist - currently numbering approximately 140 cards - is considered incomplete.  Gypsy Queen cards often exhibit the same type of contrast and image fading issues as N172 cards; an example with image contrast this strong is extremely desirable.  This example, picturing Indianapolis outfielder Patsy Cahill, has been graded AUTHENTIC by PSA due to a trimmed bottom edge.  Overall wear is pronounced, but the image quality is reasonably strong for the issue.  Gypsy Queen cards are rare and valuable in any condition.
