Lot # 107: 1887 N284 Buchner Gold Coin Tim Keefe Ball in Hand SGC POOR 1

Very presentable example of Hall of Famer Tim Keefe (hands on thighs pose) from the popular N284 Buchner Gold Coin set. Bright and crisp with bold colors, a strong image, and moderate corner wear. Graded POOR 1 by SGC largely due to evidence of album removal on the reverse. Buchners are unusual in that they feature generic illustrations of the ballplayers rather than the actual likeness of the identified player. This is a visually appealing Hall of Famer example from the Buchner Gold Coin tobacco set, one of the few full-color baseball-card sets of the nineteenth century and one of the most artistically interesting, distinctive, and classic baseball-card sets of the 1880s.
