This is a baseball card from the Old Judge series, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1889, featuring William Benjamin "Shorty" Fuller, a shortstop for the St. Louis Browns. The card depicts Fuller in a full-length pose, holding a baseball, against a simple background, with his uniform number, "1", visible on his jersey. The card is a prime example of the early days of baseball trading cards, and it provides a glimpse into the history of the sport. Old Judge cards are popular collector's items for baseball enthusiasts and art lovers alike, and this card is a testament to the legacy of baseball and the artistry of Goodwin & Company.
