"Robinson, Catcher, Philadelphia Athletics," is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1888. This card features a sepia-toned photograph of a baseball player in action, catching a ball against a blurry background. It is part of a larger series of baseball cards issued with Old Judge Cigarettes, a popular brand in the late 19th century. The card, measuring just 6.9 x 3.5 cm, is currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. This card is a valuable artifact for baseball history enthusiasts and collectors of antique trading cards.
