Billy Klusman, who appeared with a wide range of pro teams during his 15-year career, is shown batting, nominally for Denver of the five-team Colorado State League. His photo shows a mixture of warm, detailed tones, as well as one of the 19th century's unusual bat designs with a highlighted dark striking area, at what we'd call today its "Sweet Spot."

The SGC VG-EX 4 grade reflects modest handling, above-average image strength, and chipping along its top edge. The jersey's somewhat smudged by this photo detail and likely reads "Milwaukee," as N172 Klusman poses appear as two teams, with that being his alternate to Denver. The combined population reports show fewer than ten graded examples known, making this a tough card for an obscure player!
