Outstanding portrait image of King "$10,000" Kelly, one of the most popular players of the era, among fans then and among collectors today.  Graded VG 3 by SGC, the card is tremendous, with a clear, well-defined image that reveals visible detail, right down to the laces in Kelly's jersey.  The wear is largely restricted to the corners, though the reverse also exhibits some mild staining. Though we have offered multiple N172 Kelly cards over the years, this is the first example of this particular pose we have handled, and it is gorgeous.
