1888 N28 Allen & Ginter Cap Anson PSA 4 VG-EX
CAPTAIN ANSON!!! The highly-coveted 1888 Allen & Ginter Adrian "Cap" Anson is offered here in a super-eye-pleasing PSA 4 holder, one of ten baseball subjects from the prestigious 50-card N28 set. Legendary HOF Chicago first sacker Cap Anson was the inaugural member of the illustrious 3,000-hit club, ending his spectacular 27-year career with a .330 lifetime batting average and 97 homers. Synonymous with his 19th century achievements is this 136-year-old keepsake. The classic bat-on-shoulder image of the majestic Anson boasts fine clarity and contrast, set against a relatively clean white surface whose only notable imperfections are some typical surface wear and edge toning. Cap appears as if he is about to stroke another one of his 3,435 safeties, with modest corner wear actually providing an aesthetically pleasing uniformity. The flipside's blue "World Champions" checklist is the final compliment for this iconic 19th century memento!
