Myers C. Robinson, 3rd Base, Minneapolis, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This 1888 baseball card, "Myers C. Robinson, 3rd Base, Minneapolis," is from the "Old Judge" series of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card features a black and white photograph of Robinson, a third baseman for the Minneapolis Millers, in a baseball uniform. The card is an example of the "trade card," a genre of advertising that became popular in the late 19th century. It's a valuable piece of baseball history and an interesting example of early American advertising. The card is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
