1887 Old Judge N172 Dummy Hoy Rookie "238-2 Strike, Bat Over Left Shoulder" SGC 6 EX-NM - POP 1; Highest Graded Example on the Combined SGC & PSA Pop Charts!
BEST OF THE BEST ROOKIE!!! Presented here is a unique for the grade SGC 6 EX-NM 1888 Dummy Hoy 238-2 Old Judge N172 rookie card that reigns supreme on both the SGC and PSA census reports! The classic pose is dubbed 238-2 "Strike, Bat Over Left Shoulder" in the prestigious "Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company" publication. Formidable center fielder William Ellsworth "Dummy" Hoy is the greatest deaf player in MLB history, playing 14 seasons, most notably with the Cincinnati and Washington D.C. franchises. Standing only 5'4" tall, he overcame both his minimal size and being deaf to become one of our National Pastime's greatest overachievers. His classic batting pose on this super scarce N172 heirloom is outstanding, revealing atypical excellent contrast, fine centering, and no relatively clean surfaces, more than worthy of the pinnacle SGC 6 assessment, placing it as Hoy's undisputed finest of its kind rookie card!
