Exceptional Old Judge card featuring King Kelly, one of the most popular players of his era, in one of the less frequently seen of his 11 poses in the issue. In fact, this is the only example of the pose that PSA has graded. Pictured here in the uniform of the Boston Beaneaters, where Kelly would play for three seasons after starring in Chicago, the image is very strong, one of the finest we have encountered. An early example from 1887, Kelly is identified as "$10,000 Kelly," a reference to his sale to Boston for the then-astronomical price. The image contrast, like that of so many of the other Old Judge cards featured in this auction, is far above average for the issue. The numerical grade assigned by PSA speaks to corner wear as well as a light corner crease at the bottom left.
