J. Arundel, Catcher, Indianapolis, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

"J. Arundel, Catcher, Indianapolis" is a monochrome photograph from the "Old Judge" series of baseball trading cards, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1887. The card depicts Arundel, a catcher for the Indianapolis club, in a batting pose, holding his bat in front of him, showcasing the popularity of baseball in the late 19th century. This card, like others in the series, was included in packs of Old Judge Cigarettes, and is a prime example of early sports card collecting. The card's small size of 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inches suggests it was meant for personal collections, making it a valuable artifact for baseball and trading card enthusiasts.
