This is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, produced by Goodwin & Company in 1889. It features Oliver Wendell "Patsy" Tebeau, a third baseman for the Cleveland team. The card showcases Tebeau holding a baseball bat, a classic pose for baseball cards of the era. This card is a prime example of the early baseball card, using a black and white photographic style that was common in the late 19th century. These cards, given away with packs of cigarettes, were a popular collectible for baseball fans. *Old Judge* cards are a significant part of baseball memorabilia history and are highly sought after by collectors.
