This is a baseball card from the Old Judge series (N172) produced by Goodwin & Company in 1887. It depicts Michael Cornelius Dorgan, a player for the New York Giants. The card is part of a set of 87 cards depicting baseball players from the 19th century. Printed on thin cardstock, the image is faded and the player is rendered in a simple, almost silhouette-like style. This card is considered a valuable piece of baseball memorabilia and represents a significant moment in American sports history.
