Graded 60 EX 5 by SGC. John (Monte) Ward, Captain of the New York Giants and 1964 Hall of Famer is the focus of this 1887 N172 Old Judge specimen. The Pennsylvania native is captured heaving a throw against a crease-free sepia backdrop. Incidental peripheral fraying does not disrupt the poignant and clear nineteenth century imagery. The blank reverse is clean.
