"T.C. Burns, 3rd Base, Chicago" is a photographic trading card from the "Old Judge" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1888. This card features a sepia-toned image of baseball player T.C. Burns in a classic baseball action pose. This card was originally printed as part of a series of cards that were given away with packages of Old Judge Cigarettes. The card is small in size, measuring 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inches, and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
