My latest purchase and now my oldest (and one of my coolest!) cards

The owner of my favorite shop called me last week to tell me that a nice collection had walked in his door. He sent me some scans of the cards he thought I'd be interested in, and I immediately knew which one I had to have. This is my first 19th-century HOFer and I'm thrilled it's an N162. To me, the brilliant color lithography of the Goodwins and the Allen & Ginters are so much more attractive than the often washed-out sepia photography of the Old Judges. Anyway, here's my "newest" 126-year-old baseball card, enjoy!
