Graded NM 84(7) by SGC. The offered card hails from the exceptionally popular 19th century issue from Allen And Ginter referred to within the hobby by the N28 designation. Deep well inked hues of color illuminate from the cards surface and command the attention of the enthusiast. Each of the four corners border on the NM/MT classification with only minimal clean wear which is the most likely culprit to the harsh assessment of the NM grade. The reverse is ever so slightly toned as if to assure the onlooker to the cards 127 years of survival, while void of any additional pitfalls. Imaged on the obverse is Adrian "Cap" Anson, the very first superstar of the game and was the dominant on-field figure of nineteenth-century baseball. He was a small-town boy from Iowa who earned his fame as the playing manager of the fabled Chicago White Stockings, the National League team now known as the Cubs. A larger-than-life figure of great talents and great faults, Anson managed the White Stockings to five pennants and set all the batting records that men such as Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth later broke.
