This 1887 baseball card, titled "Nash, 3rd Base, Boston," features a black and white photograph of baseball player Nash, the third baseman for the Boston team. Part of the "Old Judge" series, it was produced by Goodwin & Company, a popular New York City-based printing firm, to be distributed with Old Judge Cigarettes. The photograph captures a moment of action, showcasing Nash in the midst of a play, and is a prime example of early 20th century sports memorabilia. The card is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
