This 1889 baseball card, part of the "Old Judge" series for Old Judge Cigarettes, features William Benjamin "Shorty" Fuller, a shortstop for the St. Louis Browns. The card, designed and printed by Goodwin & Company, is a classic example of early baseball trading cards. The image captures Fuller in a dynamic pose, holding his bat and looking ready for action. The card's simple yet effective design, along with the recognizable "Old Judge" logo, makes it a sought-after piece for baseball card collectors.
