The obscure 1888 N403 Yum Yum Tobacco set was issued by August Beck & Co. of Chicago. The cards were distributed in packs of smoking and chewing tobacco, and due to their extreme rarity, condition is a non-factor with these cards. The player on the card is also typically unimportant as simply acquiring any card in any grade from the set is usually sufficient for most collectors looking to acquire one.

With only a hundred or so graded examples known, the set includes both photographic portraits and illustrations and features players from the eight National League teams plus the Brooklyn Grays of the American Association. The checklist from the unnumbered set currently includes 61 cards but will likely grow as new examples are discovered. Only a few examples of each subject are known to exist and each one attracts significant demand among collectors when one arises at public auction.

George "Piano Legs" Gore was a fine batsman for the Chicago Nationals from 1879-1886 but ended up with the Giants in 1887. There are but two examples in the SGC pop report, this one and another that's graded VG/EX 4; PSA has none registered. The obvious issue is the drawn circle added to the front, and the upper left corner carries a stain that shows through to the reverse. The image is a bit light but with the lack of available cards, it's a desirable example despite the flaws.
