A rare and highly desirable 19th century baseball collectible, an 1889 A35 Goodwin & Company Round Album Page featuring four Old Judge subjects: Slattery, Crane, Hatfield, and Murphy. Originating from one of the earliest premium redemption issues in the hobby, this piece represents a remarkable survivor from the infancy of baseball card collecting.

The A35 Round Album Pages were issued by Goodwin & Co. as part of their Old Judge cigarette promotion, where collectors could redeem coupons for premium items such as albums and display pages. These round pages were designed to hold and showcase multiple player images in a visually appealing format, making them far more scarce than standard N172 Old Judge cards.

This example features four period player images—Slattery, Crane, Hatfield, and Murphy—each capturing the classic sepia-toned Old Judge photography that defines the era. The layout and presentation offer a unique glimpse into how collectors of the late 1800s displayed their prized baseball images.

Dating to 1889, this piece is well over 130 years old and exhibits condition characteristics consistent with its age. Expect typical wear such as edge wear, surface wear, possible creasing, and handling marks. Despite this, the page remains intact and displays beautifully, with strong visual appeal and clear player imagery.

A35 album pages are rarely encountered, particularly those with multiple identifiable players, making this a standout item for advanced collectors of 19th century baseball memorabilia. These early display pieces are significantly scarcer than individual Old Judge cards and carry strong historical importance within the hobby.

An exceptional opportunity to own a genuine Goodwin & Co. Old Judge premium featuring multiple players—an impressive and seldom-seen piece that would elevate any serious pre-war or 19th century collection.
