Grade is Green 65 PPQ, which means uncirculated original paper, but not perfect - the scale is out of 70.

D'oh. Yeah, now I see the big 1887 smack dab in the middle. That IS a beautiful piece.
That's a beauty! I remember an article on currency like that in SCD - I've never seen any myself.
Those are much nicer than trade cards from the era IMO.
Congratulations - where did you pick it up?
Thanx for sharing

Thanks for the kind words. Bought it from a high end coin dealer that I do coins with who called me on it knowing I do baseball stuff. I have no idea what it is worth graded. vg examples (mostly miscut) go around $750. This is supposed to be the best of the best and as of now I agree.
Nice piece.
John, within the certificate is the word 'club' missing some ink?

<< <i>Only flaw I see is the centering. No fold lines as it wouldn't grade 65

Steve,
Not sure - I don't have it back in hand yet, but I will check it out.
Museum piece IMO. Congrats on that purchase John!

Ive owned 2 of the 1887 Chicago's, 1 1889 Chicago's, and 1 1888 Detroit Currency TCs in the past. They are tough in as nice shape as yours. Most seen are folded 2-3 times and sometimes with tears along the weak old fold marks. They are in reality a "trade card" and sometimes even found pasted in Victorian Scrapbooks of that era like most other trade cards. Yours is one of the nicest condition ones Ive seen.
Congrats on the pickup!

No, I haven't worked one in at least a decade, but I went to one last weekend and found some E120s.
