Joe_G.All N172 Old Judge Baseball Cards, regardless of year of issue, should have a final line stating "Goodwin & Co., New York." (in varying forms of text and punctuation). The bottom of this short numbered Kelly card didn't advertise the cigarettes, but instead only the issuer's name and location. The cigarette advertisement, like all other 1887 Old Judges, is located in the image area (see "OLD JUDGE Cigarettes" banner).
I agree with Jay, it appears the card was trimmed on more than one side. Extremely sad that this card would be graded at all.
