This is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1889. The card features Julius Benjamin "Julie" Freeman, a pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers. The sepia-toned image shows Freeman in a pitching stance, with a ball in the air and his bat raised. The card, printed on thin paper, is a common collectible among baseball card enthusiasts. The "Old Judge" series is considered one of the earliest and most important sets of baseball cards, predating the modern baseball card era.
