Hi-
I recently acquired the baseball themed tradecard scanned below and I was wondering if someone could help answer a few questions I have regarding it. Despite the huge scan the card is 3 inches tall and 4.25 inches wide. Is this a known baseball themed tradecard? I ask this because of how white mine is but I realize it was probably just stuck in a well preserved scrapbook for 120 years. Are there any other baseball tradecards that show the umpire in a cage like this one? Any photos that depict that or is it just for comic effect in this image? Assuming it is a legitimate 19th century baseball tradecard it is now one of my favorites. Please show your own favorite baseball tradecard as well.
Thanks in advance,
