This is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series produced in 1889 by the Goodwin & Company cigarette factory. It features Amos Rusie, a pitcher for the Indianapolis team, a team from the American Association. These cards were given away as premiums with the purchase of Old Judge cigarettes, and are now considered important artifacts for the history of baseball. The card is a monochrome photograph and part of the *N172* set of cards produced by Goodwin & Co. in 1889. The card is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
