McQuaid's 1888 card (Fb) and 1889 re-issue (Fc) are certainly scarce. The example in Goodwin is the first time I've seen the 1889 version. A minor correction to the Old Judge book should be made in that the 1888 version (shown in book) is "Umpire (AA)" while the 1889 card was issued after McQuaid moved to the NL. So the Fc card is a "league change" of sorts and the book should state "Umpire (NL)". Neat card.
