Welcome!

This site features my 19th Century Baseball cards. I collect select favorites from the 1886-90 N172 Old Judge set and Type Cards. A small side project within the N172 collecition involves a collector with the name 'F. Hislop'. After whitling down my Old Judge cards, I noticed three contained the hand written moniker on the reverse. I decided to keep these and possibly piece togther their collection (including other types, as may be the case.)

Eventually I plan to add articles about the game and the hobby.
