This black and white photograph, part of the "Old Judge" series of trading cards, features James Edward "Tip" O'Neill, a left fielder for the St. Louis Browns baseball team. The card, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1889, depicts O'Neill in a classic baseball pose, holding his bat and standing on a dusty field. The card, measuring just over two inches tall, is a prime example of the early days of baseball trading cards, a collectible beloved by sports fans today.
