Age has almost overtaken Luke Schildknecht, as bits of his legs and cap are vanishing with time as if they were Back to the Future's family photo. We can still see crossed lacing on his dark jersey and might wonder how well local writers fared at spelling his name when scoring games. The technical grade of GOOD 2 matches its somewhat rounded corners, edge chipping on two sides, and slight print tilt. The back shows a bit of pink, perhaps from contact with an album page or tinted photo. The population report shows this is his only PSA-encapsulated example of this pose, so scarcity will trump presentation for many N172 collectors!

This card appears as #402-3's reference image on page 372 of the Old Judge 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.
