1888-89 Old Judge Cabinets (N173)
The 1888-89 Old Judge Cabinets (N173) consists of at least 400 cabinet cards that measure 4¼" by 6½" . The N173 Old Judge cards have many of the same images as the Old Judge N172 cards, but are larger. The players are pictured as portraits or "in action". Most of the cards have numerous variations, depending on how the photo was cropped.
The 1888-89 Old Judge Cabinets were printed by the E. Goodwin & Co. and have a blank cardboard back. The oversized cards were redeemed when a certain number of certificates, from each pack of Old Judge and Dogs Head cigarettes, were mailed back to the E. Goodwin Company. Cabinets with the "Dogs Head" fronts are rarer and command a premium over the "Old Judge Cigarettes" version.
Some of the Hall-of-Famers included in this issue are: Cap Anson, King Kelly and Mickey Welch.
