Nineteenth Century Hall of Famer! Graded EX-MT+ 6.5 by GAI with a "first graded" notation. From the very first of Jefferson Burdick's "WG" game designations arrives the offered 1888 WG1 Playing Cards James (Pud) Galvin Type card. This Hall of Fame workhorse of the Pittsburgh Alleghenys showcases a clean perimeter, bold surface colors and a fresh front surface with striking visual accents. With exception to color bleeding on the reverse, this extremely elusive 136-year-old artifact has survived the majority of our nation's history in fine condition. Only four combined Galvin examples have been judged by PSA (3) and SGC (1). Opening Bid $500.
