Individual pages from the A35 Goodwin Round Album are beautiful and highly desirable among collectors. They are often presented as individual pages at auction and always sell well. The one piece of information that is rarely emphasized: these things are 8.25" in diameter. They're big something that is difficult to illustrate in an auction catalog or online. They make for outstanding displays. This example of Mike "King" Kelly is quite exceptional bright white with a beautiful full-color lithographic portrait image of Kelly on the obverse. The back depicts the 1889 Boston schedule along with Kelly's batting and fielding stats from 1888. A technical grade that would likely approach the EX to EX-MT range the page exhibits very slight discoloration on the reverse along with some edge wear but is simply a fantastic piece.
