Graded 50 VG-EX 4 by SGC and confirmed as pose #157-4. The right-handed pitcher is widely known as Philadelphia’s first diamond superstar and was on his way to a Hall of Fame career until he was stricken with typhoid fever and passed away in 1888 at age 25. A half-century later, Hall of Famer Wilbert Robinson ranked Ferguson as the fifth greatest baseball player to that point. This eye-catching action pose which pictures "Fergy" tagging Hall of Famer Tommy McCarthy is picture perfect with evenly rounded corners and a clean reverse.
