For your consideration is this first edition book titled, "The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company (1886-1890)" by Jay Miller, Joe Gonsowski and Richard Masson and a PSA graded and authenticated 1887 N172 Old Judge Will Gleason Portrait in Stripped Cap baseball card circa 2008 (Book) and 1887 (Baseball Card). The book is superbly put together, hardbound with a dust cover, and features nearly 500 pages filled with over 2500 images of late-1880s baseball athletes and teams. The book provides images of virtually all the players and team variations in the Old Judge set (N172 and N173 in the American Card Catalogue), revealing the set's mysteries. The book discusses the history of Goodwin & Co., how the company created and issued its cards, how to determine the year cards were issued, how to recognize counterfeit, and biographies of all 521 players in the set. The PSA graded card shows a portrait of St. Louis Browns player Will Gleason wearing a stripped cap and his player shirt reading, "St. Louis". Gleason entered the majors in 1882 with the St. Louis Browns, where he and Jack Gleason were the first siblings to play in the same major league infield. His most productive season came in 1887, when he posted career numbers in batting average (. 288), runs (135), hits (172), and on-base percentage. The card has been given a PSA grade of AA, meaning "Altered Authentic". This means that while PSA is certifying that the item is genuine, due to the existence of alterations, the item cannot receive a numerical grade. The term altered may mean that the card shows evidence of one or more of the following: trimming, re-coloring, restoration, and/or cleaning. It is set in a PSA Graded Slab and features the grading, certification number, PSA label and a bar code. The certification number can be looked up on the PSA Certification Verification. The graded card corresponds to page 86 in the book where the exact card can be seen. The card and book show good condition overall with little to no wear present and no signs of major damage or wear is noted. Some corners creased from previous owner. The book measures 11 1/8" L x 9 1/4" W x 1 3/8" D, while the card measures 2 1/2" L x 1 1/4" W (case measures 5 3/8" L x 3 1/8" W). They have a collective weight of 4 pounds and 8 ounces.
