A durable right-hander for 1880s second division franchises, Hardie Henderson stands at rest in his high-contrast uniform, perhaps to consider what his next career will be. Pittsburgh marked his last stop in professional baseball, as teammates and managers might've tired of his hard-drinking style. This former "Trolley Dodgers" pitcher would ironically perish under the wheels of a trolley before he reached the 20th century.

Hardie's SGC VG 3 reflects rounded corners and slanted edges, with an appealing image of above-average contrast and depth. This midgrade card presents well enough to suit almost any Old Judge collection, given the N172 priority of quality images over other technical details.

This card appears as #222-8's reference image on page 265 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.
