John Harkins of Baltimore appears here in a crisp studio pose with decent contrast and striking central image. The SGC VG 3 grade reflects chipping along the top edge and bottom corners, as well as marks across its nameplate. You can read all the text, and its borders are otherwise strong for this grade within the N172 set.

The SGC population report shows a single #214-7 example, emphasizing how Old Judge contains so many possible combinations of pose, team, and seasonal printing that any single example could stand as the set's "sole survivor."

This particular card has the distinction of appearing as #214-7's reference image on page 260 of the Old Judge photography book by Miller, Gonsowski, and Masson. Love of the Game is proud to offer several cards seen in their outstanding work of research and presentation as part of our 100+ N172 listings in this auction.
