Pedestrianism
Just in case anyone ever wondered about those 19th century cards with the person listed as a "Pedestrian".

Great article. Here's my favorite Pedestrian, the only one in the T218 set. He has some other cards, and a couple of modern biographies. This is all 4 of his cards in the T218 family, the upper left is the tough C52. Bottom right is the common variation.

There are books on Weston too. See:
 Another famous pedestrian was Hart, who also played baseball. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Hart_(athlete) Hart's card from 1880 in an SGC 2, sold for $5,276 in March. See: https://youtu.be/Z_pql3vdoqI?t=64

The Hart card has a lot of historical significance, as the Wikipedia article notes.
Also, they are very rare. PSA has only 1 graded (highest is a PSA 2) SGC has only 4 graded (highest is an SGC 2)

That Hart is amazing! I did some more research into this subject after posting this link and it's fascinating. I am fan of Hart, but my favorite Pedestrian is Weston as well.

Weston's Between the Acts card is among the rarest of all.
No PSA Only 2 SGC (Image from Worthpoint) Pedestrianism was a huge sport in the 1800s before baseball hit its stride, with competitions in Madison Square Gardens. And Weston was one of its pioneers. https://ephemeralnewyork.wordpress.c...pedestrianism/ The peds featured in regular write-ups in The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/1878/09/30/a...cement-of.html
