Description

1887-90 N172 Old Judge Harry Wright (#510-1b) SGC Fair 1.5 - "Man'g, Phila" Caption Variant. Harry Wright is a baseball pioneer in the truest sense. His contributions include those as a player and manager up to an architect of the game itself. His style of play set the groundwork for modern day baseball, responsible for such innovations as the modern uniform and score sheets. His bonds to the game lasted a lifetime. As a manager, he took his team to six league championships and posted a .581 winning percentage. He was the cornerstone of the first professional baseball team - the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings. He makes very few cards but that in hand makes us appreciate all the more the chance to add one to our collection. Graded SGC Fair 1.5. The grade is a reflection on the condition of the reverse. The formal portrait of Wright has a very pleasing amount of fine detail and range of values. The caption reads: HARRY WRIGHT, Man'g, Phila.
