Is this known as 19th century pornography? Don't save it to your computer, as King looks under 18 on the card.

Actually, I've never seen a hold to light baseball trade card before. Sort of a 19th century trick card-- hold to light, see different graphics. And I'm confident you only see an answer to the question.

what are y'all's thoughts on this one...didn't sell for a tad less than 1K...I think it's an awesome card(card?) and would love to own it...never seen another?

[Leon]

Just my personal opinion but I think it's a little high for what it is....but, not real high...

Leon...I'm surprised to hear you say that...a very early card(card?) of one of the pioneers of the game...a hall of famer...possible one of a kind...great colors/pic...a very interesting cat...I've seen hundreds if not thousands of lesser cards sell for a bit more than this?

It just doesn't do it for me......Maybe it's because I got out of 19th Century? It might be the best thing since sliced bread for others? That's why they make chocolate and vanilla. Something about the generic image and the fact there is no name on it...*(I realize it's supposed to be King Kelly). It is really neat though and almost got to 4 figures. I wouldn't be surprised if it sold for up to 2k-3k, heck, I would rather have that than a lot of other cards I see for that kind of money, but all in all, it just doesn't excite me.
