Default My FIRST Old Judge!

After months of wanting an N172 and constantly being outbid on ebay and finding nothing in my under fifty bucks price range I finally came thru!
Trimmed but not skinned though it was glued to an ancient scrapbook with a big flower bouquet thing and something about a park in Queens in 1889.
I was afraid to try to peel it from the scrapbook page so I just cut out around it and I'm left with a scrapbook flower saying "true to thee" on the back I put it in a single screwdown inside a penny sleeve.

As was pointed out to me here this is a fellow named George Myers who played catcher for Indianapolis. I assume it is fairly common and I know it is very trimmed.
Either which way it has made me one happy camper
