This 1888 baseball card, part of the "Old Judge" series, features a black and white photograph of "Sullivan, L. F. Indianapolis" in a batting pose. Created by Goodwin & Company, the card showcases a popular pastime of the late 19th century and was likely included in cigarette packs, making it a collectible piece for both baseball and trading card enthusiasts. The card is a small, yet detailed, image that highlights the player's form and serves as a historical snapshot of early American baseball.
