    Description

    1887-90 N172 Old Judge King Kelly (#254-3) SGC Poor 1 - The Only Confirmed SGC Example! King Kelly is one of the larger-than-life characters of his time who earned his monetary-based nickname by signing a contract for the unbelievable sum of $10,000 per season. And all he had to do was play baseball. Career-contemporary cards of Kelly are highly sought after by collectors. Heritage Auctions has sold numerous examples but never this pose! Our offered card is pose #254-3 Portrait, bare head, "Boston" on shirt. Graded SGC Poor 1. Caption: None. Photo quality: Excellent+.
