Lot # 83: 1888 N162 Goodwin Champions Cap Anson PSA EX-MT 6

Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Stunning high-grade example of the key card featuring the legendary Cap Anson from this very popular and colorful set of 50, which includes just eight baseball players, issued by Old Judge and Gypsy Queen. Considered by many to be the most beautiful of all 19th-century tobacco-card issues, the N162 Goodwin Champions set has cemented its place as one of the premier baseball-card sets ever produced from any era. The set features champions and stars of the day from a wide variety of sports. This example displays vibrant colors, a crisp image, light corner wear, and centering toward the left. Boldly printed checklist reverse with a faint hint of toning on the right portion (noted for accuracy). This is a magnificent high-grade example of one of the most classic of all 19th-century baseball cards. This card is a gem and would be a significant highlight in even the most advanced world-class collection.
