For Sale - N172 Kelly

[Archive]

Posted By: Joe_G.

$10,000 Kelly - batting left handed (actually a right handed hitter)

Three of Kelly's ten poses are with Chicago as script cards. These are generally regarded as being more difficult than the numbered Boston examples with Lew Lipset suggesting this particular pose is the toughest - Encyclopedia of 19th Century Baseball cards. Although I must say I've seen a couple of these surface over the last couple years.

I'll start out by saying I was disappointed to have it recently sent back from SGC as trimmed. Having been in my collection since 1990 without suspicion of any altering, I was disappointed but I trust SGCs opinion over mine after talking with them directly. My loss.

Far from perfect with dark staining & a pen mark across the chest but still a presentable N172 Kelly.
