Irwin w Wilkes Barre
 
I have been collecting Wilkes Barre baseball items for some time and have never run across this card or even a photo of it. If anyone has it or has a photo of it that they could post I would love to see it.
Thanks

Irwin's Old Judge with Wilkes-Barre Coal Barons is unique, only one known copy. This makes it the toughest team card in the set by a long shot. All four of his poses were first issued in 1888 with the NL Washington Nationals. Only pose 3 was updated to reflect his new team for 1889, Wilkes-Barre Coal Barons. His uniform wasn't modified, only the team printed by his name.

It can be found on page 52 of the Old Judge book.
