"Smiling" Al Maul pitched and played the field for 15 seasons, entirely in Pittsburgh during the years Old Judge released N172 cards. This batting pose, one of seven for Maul, is cataloged as #298-2 in the Goodwin & Co. photo reference book.
The SGC GD+ 2.5 grade reflects overall image quality as modestly detailed and very slightly faded, with some angles to its edge cuts and decent corners for its age. The back shows typical toning from handling. The combined population reports show seven graded examples, with this as the only one encapsulated by SGC!
This card appears as #298-2's reference image on page 311 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.
