FS - 1887 Buchner Gold Coin (N284) John Clarkson (HOF) SGC 60
 

Offered here is a great card from a very difficult set.

While certainly not as popular as the N172 issue, this is one of Clarksons rookie cards.

PSA & SGC together have graded just 8 of these Ball at Chest versions. There is a PSA 7 out there somewhere but other than that one, this is the highest graded on record.

It is not often that a quality version of a scarce rookie card of a 19th century Hall of Famer is available.

See images below. PM with any questions or requests.

Mike--Are you sure that is the ball at chest version? Ball at chest usually implies the ball is in both hands at mid-chest. That pose looks like a ball in right hand chest high pose.

Hi Jay,

I do think that the card offered here is indeed the Ball at Chest version. The other variant in the set for Clarkson is the Arm Outstretched. I have added an image here of what that looks like.

Gr, Mike

The 2006 SCD called them "ball at chest" and "arm outstretched", but Old Cardboard calls them "ball near waist" and " arm outstretched". Lipset called them "Clarkson Pitcher Chicago" and "right arm extended, left arm near side". I combine these and call them ball at waist, ready to throw and arm outstretched, throwing no ball visible. Nice card.
