Highly-coveted N173 Old Judge cabinet photo features Hall of Fame member Charles Comiskey while still a young ballplayer for St. Louis. The only example of this pose assessed by PSA, the technical grade of GOOD+ 2.5 is the result of corner wear and light soiling. The most visible area of wear is an unobtrusive crease at the bottom right corner. The image quality is quite remarkable, certainly the highlight of this card.

Comiskey is one of the most important figures in the history of the game, known during his playing career as a great leader who was captain of the Browns for four pennant-winning seasons between 1885 and 1888.  He is, of course, best-known as the owner of the Chicago White Sox, his reputation as a frugal owner often cited as the impetus for the 1919 Black Sox Scandal.  The club's ballpark carried his name for decades, until the days of corporate naming rights made such folksy traditions a thing of the past.  An outstanding early cabinet photo of a titan in the game's lore, particularly rare.
