Old Judge card #183-3 shows Frank "Frenchy" Genins of Sioux City (Western Association) poised to catch a ball and bearing the misspelling "Genius" as, perhaps, a pun nickname on Genins. Frenchy chased professional baseball incessantly around the country, playing 22 seasons at every level and appearing on five N172 poses, all as a Sioux City outfielder.

This SGC FAIR 1.5 grade reflects softness in its image registration and clarity, with significant corner wear and edges that some graders would declare "authentic" vs. a number grade. The combined population reports show between 20-30 total Genins cards known, making him one of its tougher subjects to find in any pose, regardless of grade. 

Love of the Game is proud to offer a wide range of Old Judge cards in this auction, over 100 in all!
