Beautiful copy of a very scarce pose. I find the card’s background very interesting. 1887 Boston players (and all other NL teams except New York) were photographed by Gray Studios. The backgrounds that Gray used we’re pretty consistent. However, off the top of my head I don’t remember another card with this background. Also, number “0440” was a relatively late addition to the “0” number series. Something unusual took place with this pose; I need to spend some time thinking about what was going on. Anyway, congratulations—great pickup.
