This 1888 baseball card, from the Old Judge series, features Anthony John "Tony" Mullane, a pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds. Created by Goodwin & Company, the card is a black and white photograph depicting Mullane in his baseball uniform, standing with his arms crossed and a serious expression. It is part of a series of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company to promote Old Judge Cigarettes. The card is a prime example of the early days of baseball card collecting and a nostalgic look at a bygone era of the sport.
