N508 Sub Rosa #6 Short Stop woman baseball player
Without their fancy dresses of the day, the ladies depicted in Pacholder's "Women Base Ball Players" card issue amounted to cutting-edge culture indeed. Appearing in the 1880s (and now categorized as A.C.C. N508), this tobacco insert card series dared to depict lovely females indulging in the manly game of baseball that was sweeping the country...and posing them in snug ball-suits at that! Projected as sepia drawings, the cards measure 1-1/2" x 2-5/8" This #6 card has a great front and some damage on the otherwise blank back.
