Strong card of "Baldy" Silch, an outfielder who excited Brooklyn fans with his arrival in 1888, as he'd been an amazing hitter for Denver the previous year, finishing with a .408 average in 109 games. His lackluster defense, however, limited long-term success against their major league competition, and Baldy was back in the Western Association by year's end.

This SGC EX 5 reflects its balanced borders, slightly rounded corners, and about average photo depth and clarity. Centering is also near-perfect, with a slight tilt along its top edge. The SGC population report shows four encapsulated examples, with none higher!
