Tough 1886-87 card of Hall of Fame pitcher "Smiling" Mickey Welch.  Just the third pitcher in baseball history to amass 300 wins, Welch was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1973, his 307-210 record impossible to deny.  His .800 winning percentage in 1885 was the result of a 44-11 record, his 1.66 ERA in 492 innings pitched simply an amazing athletic feat regardless of era.  Script example of card #486-3, graded POOR 1 by PSA due to significant wear and creasing, the image quality remains strong with above-average contrast.
