While pre-war collectors are familiar with popular nineteenth century issues such as Allen & Ginter or Old Judge, this 1888 N403 Yum Yum Tobacco Doggie Miller is a much more obscure issue. Graded 40 VG by SGC, the Pittsburgh pitcher is one of only two such examples evaluated by the grading service, with the cards sharing the same technical grade. This hard-to-find relic reveals moderate corner and edge wear along with light soiling and paper pulling on the blank reverse. Exhibiting an undeniably pleasing eye appeal, this relic is ready to join any advanced nineteenth century gathering.
