Ervin Curtis played just one major league season, splitting time between the 1891 Cincinnati Reds and Washington Statesmen. Curtis is pictured on five different Old Judge cards, all with the St. Joseph Clay Eaters, where Curtis would play 100 games in 1889. His N172 Old Judge has been graded GOOD 2 by PSA due to overall surface wear and soiling, though his dark uniform does result in strong image contrast regardless.
