Lot # 61: 1887 N172 Old Judge #251-3 Tim Keefe SGC Authentic (Rebacked)

Graded Authentic by SGC and confirmed as pose #251-3. The cordial “Sir Timothy” Keefe follows through on the offered 1887 N172 Old Judge relic. The mustachioed New York Giants pitcher hits the mark on this (Pitch, right-hand forward, head high) pose variation. Despite perimeter trimming and confirmation of being rebacked, this early Hall of Famer is crisply portrayed on an unobstructed, nineteenth-century sepia-toned photograph.
