1888 Allen & Ginter Wm. 'Buck' Ewing
Allen & Ginter 1888
Card #
GAI EX-MT 6


One of the most fearsome batters of the 19th Century, Wm. 'Buck' Ewing earned a World Championship for his New York Giants the year that this gorgeous baseball card rolled off the printing press. Well over a century later, the Hall-of-Fame multi-position legend looks basically just as he did back in the day, with his handlebar mustached-face unmarred by even the slightest bit of wear. Surrounding him are three sharp corners (with just a light touch on the fourth), and superb edges and centering! Without the small stain at the bottom of the verso, we'd see a decent increase in the still-impressive grade awarded this untra-vintage gem. These 19th Century Hall-of-Famer cards still have a long way to go before they hit their full investment potential in the marketplace. By comparison to many of their 20th Century counterparts, they are an absolute steal at current levels.
