This 1887 baseball card from the "Kalamazoo Bats" series features a sepia-toned photograph of a baseball player, Mulvey, playing third base for Philadelphia. The card, designed by Chas. Gross & Co. to promote their brand of bats, showcases Mulvey in a classic baseball pose, holding a bat while standing on the field. The card is a prime example of 19th-century baseball memorabilia and offers a glimpse into the early days of the sport.
