Jake Virtue 1890
A friend asked me - for far different purposes - to scan some of my more obscure 19th Century cards, so I thought I'd post a few here to see if there's any demand for them.
Jake Virtue was an obscure first baseman for the Cleveland Spiders from 1890 through 1894 (led the NL in errors and putouts in '91, one of his only two seasons as a regular). His real claim to fame might be, being part of this exquisite 1893 set from Cleveland by Just So Tobacco. The series includes the likes of Cy Young and Buck Ewing.
