A presentable low-grade batting pose for Thomas "Oyster" Burns, whose mid-1888 move to Brooklyn dates this team variation to 1889. Its moderate contrast reveals a dark uniform, which his original Baltimore club wore (Pre-1889 versions of this pose show that team on its nameplate).
The SGC FR 1.5 grade suits an aggressive right edge cut, chipped corner, and surface marks on front and back. However you slice it, this makes for a more accessible card from this beloved 19th-century series, until you consider scarcity. Their population report shows just one graded example and this is it! PSA's population report tracks him under Oyster Burns and shows fewer than 10 total graded for six variations.
