Graded 30 Good 2 by SGC. Only seven copies of the offered 1887 N690 Kalamazoo Bats (Smiling) Al Maul have been judged by the grading service. The pitcher for the Philadelphia Quakers is clearly pictured in a season in which he posted a 4-2 ledger. The Keystone native exhibits a strong sepia-toned image against a period ballpark setting. The reverse of the sturdy slab of antique cardboard exhibits moderate creasing which barely protrudes the surface and does not seriously impact the overall presentation. Presents at the peak of the assigned technical appraisal.
