Lot 1068
 
Description: 1888 N173 Chas. Comiskey Old Judge Cabinet photograph. Very scarce pose picturing Comiskey diving into a base in St. Louis Browns uniform. Image quality remains very strong with original contrast and clarity intact. Mount is clean with "Old Judge Cigarettes" in gilt lettering. The back has some minor paper loss to two areas and has "Burt Kurtz" stamped in red. Kurtz was likely a relative of Del Kurtz who played for the 1887 Greenstockings team (See Lot 1065). The image does have some fairly light soiling spots to the surface in the background area which may be removable with professional conservation. The image surface otherwise has some typical light crazing with one small area of wear to the emulsion. First example of this N173 Comiskey pose that we have encountered: EX-EX/MT (With note to spotting)
Sold For: $6,000.00
