This is a black and white photograph of Philip H. "Buster" Tomney, a shortstop for the Louisville Colonels baseball team, from the Old Judge series of trading cards. The card features a close-up portrait of Tomney in his uniform, kneeling on the field, ready to field a ball. The photograph was created by Goodwin & Company in 1889, and it served as a promotional piece for Old Judge Cigarettes. These cards were distributed with packs of cigarettes, and are now highly sought after by collectors of baseball memorabilia.
