1888 Goodwin Champions (N162)

A 50-card, multi-sport series of color lithographs from Goodwin & Company, inserted in Old Judge and Gypsy Queen cigarettes and celebrating the champions of the day. Only eight cards are baseball players (Anson, Kelly, Keefe, Brouthers and others); the rest honor oarsmen, wrestlers, pedestrians, cyclists and more. It is one of the most beautiful sets of the century.
