(LOT 36)
1888 N162 Goodwin Champions Kelly Baseball PSA 5 EX

LOW POP KELLY!!! The offered card, released by Goodwin & Co. in 1888, may well be the ultimate 19th Century insert collectible. Not only is the N162 Goodwin Champions set generally considered to be among the most beautiful of all card productions, the piece seen here features Hall of Famer Mike "King" Kelly, the most outrageous player of his time. Kelly was also the most popular player of the era, and his image was used to advertise a variety of products from shoe polish to tobacco. This card is always in high demand in any grade, but this PSA 5 EX example is a POP 6 with just a handful grading higher. Over 133 years old, this card is one to own!!!

MIN BID $3,500
