The N300 George Haddock "No Team" variation is an interesting and important card in the 48-card set because it proves that the set was issued over the two-year period of 1894 and 1895. Haddock's card was initially issued with "Philadelphia" on the front as he started the 1894 season with that team before moving to the Washington Nationals. After leaving Philadelphia the card's artwork was revised but rather than add "Washington" to his shirt no team was added at all a sign that the card was manufactured after he departed Washington but before his retirement from the game was known. This card presents extremely well for the assigned grade EX/MT in appearance save for some minor chipping and what appears to be a very small paper remnant on the front near Haddock's name. The reverse of course is the reason for the low technical grade as several prominent surface abrasions mar the otherwise black and blank back.
