John "Jocko" Milligan, Catcher, Philadelphia, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1888

This is a trading card from the *Old Judge* series, a set of collectible cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888. The series featured prominent baseball players of the time. This card depicts John "Jocko" Milligan, a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. The card is a sepia-toned photograph printed on thin cardboard, typical of the era's trading cards. It shows Milligan in a baseball uniform, holding a glove in his left hand, with his right hand raised in a gesture of catching the ball. The card is a great example of early baseball card collecting and serves as a historical document of the sport in the late 19th century. The card is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
