N 172 Old Judge
 

Hiya Gents :

I found this card in the old proverbial cigar box. It is marked as a N 172 1887-89 Old Judge cigarettes. Ryan R.F. Chicago. Goodwin Co. New York.

the card has what appears to me as blisters or shrinkage & a deep creases on the right hand side. I would like an opinion from some of you experts on what you think the fair value might be.

Is there anything else I should know prior to me putting this up for sale. ??

Best Regards,

Len

Well I have been researching this card this afternoon & found out his name is Jimmy Ryan & played right field.

that card is in pretty rough shape and it appears to have some type of coating over it? probably worth 50-75 imho!

That's probably about right on the price. He was a very good player for a long time so he is popular in the set but he is also very easy to find so that keeps the price down

N172 damage
 

Is that what happens to an N172 when it gets wet?
