This is a baseball card from the "Old Judge" series, created by Goodwin & Company in 1889 to promote Old Judge cigarettes. It features Mortimer Martin "Mart" McQuaid, a right fielder for the Denver team. The card is a black and white photograph of McQuaid holding a bat, showcasing his baseball uniform and equipment. The card's small size, typical of the time, and its simple yet effective composition create a sense of nostalgia and contribute to its collectible value. The series has become a popular item for collectors of sports memorabilia and provides a glimpse into the history of baseball during the late 19th century.
