1869 Peck & Snyder Red Stockings PSA Auth – Considered Very First Baseball Card!

Offered here is one of the most historically significant artifacts in the history of American sports—the 1869 Peck & Snyder trade card featuring the Cincinnati Red Stockings, graded PSA Authentic. Widely considered the very first baseball card, this rare relic captures the sport’s first fully professional team in a formal studio photograph, including Hall of Famers Harry and George Wright. Issued by the Peck & Snyder sporting goods company, this card not only helped spark the baseball card hobby but also served as early sports advertising. With its sepia-toned image and printed player roster along the bottom, this example represents a cornerstone piece of both baseball history and Americana. A crown jewel for advanced collectors and institutional investors alike.
