This is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series of trading cards, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888. This particular card features James McCar, a second baseman for the St. Louis Browns, depicted in a posed photograph wearing his team's uniform. These trading cards were given away with packs of Old Judge cigarettes and featured portraits of prominent baseball players of the era. The card is a great example of late 19th-century baseball memorabilia and provides a glimpse into the history of the sport in the United States. It's currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
