This 1889 baseball card depicts Al C. Hungler, a pitcher for the Sioux City Corn Huskers. The card, part of the "Old Judge" series by Goodwin & Company, features a black and white photograph of Hungler in a classic pitching pose. These cards, distributed with Old Judge cigarettes, were a popular form of collecting in the late 19th century and are highly sought after by collectors today. The card's simple design and clear depiction of Hungler make it a valuable artifact of early baseball history.
