Rapturous image quality and definition on this William Schenkel fielding pose, catalogued #401-2 by the Goodwin & Co. photography reference for Old Judge cards. Every part of the card stands out, from cap to nameplate, as one of the finest visual impacts at this technical grade. As a pitcher, Schenkle/Schenkel (depending on the box score) fared below average, but this card is anything but. Its PSA VG-EX 4 grade reflects the light corner wear, speckles of wear along its surface, and dots along its lower border, without any of those detracting from that superior photo. The PSA population report shows three graded examples, with this being its highest score! A truly special listing for those who seek the best of N172's picture clarity.
This card appears as #401-2'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.
