Description

1888 N173 Old Judge Cabinet Ned Williamson (Catching Hands Neck High) PSA VG 3 - One of Two PSA Graded Examples. Offered is an 1888 N173 Old Judge Cabinet Ned Williamson (Catching Hands Neck High). Cap Anson once described Ned as "the greatest all-around ballplayer the country ever saw." Williamson began playing organized ball in 1877 and enjoyed a successful career until 1890. His astronomical 27 home runs in 1884 stood as the single season record until a guy named Ruth came along in 1919. There are multiple spot dimples to the surface as well as a horizontal impression. All of this is wonderfully camouflaged by a photo that is without question one of the highest quality images one could ever find on any N173. Graded PSA VG 3. Pop One! Only one of two PSA graded examples!

Guide Value or Estimate: $2,500 - up.
