One of 27 two-player cards where just one player is identified, but probably the most highly-prized of all of them, this example features Hall of Famer Hoss Radbourn, "tagging" his teammate, third baseman Billy Nash.  Cards of Radbourn are among the most coveted of all 19th Century players, his Old Judge issues commanding high prices and consistently escalating in value.  This example, graded FR 1.5 by PSA, exhibits a bold and crisp image, with outstanding contrast.  The reverse exhibits cracking and staining from glue, likely due to long ago scrapbook mounting.  Some wear is evident at the corners and edges, though the well-centered image and text are largely unblemished.  Once again, an Old Judge with an exceptional image, the technical grade betrayed by irrelevant damage to the blank back.
