I haven't chased any original Allen & Ginter cards in a long time -- almost two years....yikes! -- and I regret that. 2010 Ginter is what got me back into the hobby, I love the original cards, and I work in a shop that specializes in vintage. I've really dropped the ball, clearly, and it's time that changed.
I decided to snag at least one A&G when I spotted a slew listed on eBay. I targeted this one in particular as it really caught my eye. Jimmy Carroll hails from the Pugilists subset of the N28 Ginters which were released in 1887.
