Timothy Brosnan played 80 games for the Minneapolis Millers of the Western Association in 1888. Brosnan has six cards in the N172 set, but this version, depicting him as a member of the Millers, stooping to tag second base, appears to be the more difficult, with this being the only example graded by PSA.

Some light diamond cutting and faint staining toward the center of the bottom of the front of the card keep it from grading higher, but the dark printing, great contrast, and legible text still give it great eye appeal. While the edges are soft and the back shows signs of the card once being affixed to a scrapbook page, the selling point here is the superior image quality.
