Description

Presented is an extremely rare double-player card featuring John Reilly and "Little Nick" Nicol (pose #346-7) of the Cincinnati Red Stockings. According to The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company (1886-1890), the definitive book on Old Judges by Jay Miller, Joe Gonsowski, and Richard Masson, there are 23 different cards on which Goodwin & Co. identifies both players by name (as is the case with the offered example). Approximately 27 other cards within the set feature a second player but list only one player on the card. Encapsulated as "Authentic" by SGC.
