With this card we pay tribute to the man considered by historians to be the first openly black man to play Major League Baseball. "Fleet" Walker made his debut in May, 1884 and would play 42 games that year for Toledo of the American Association. While he never played again in the big leagues, he remained in professional ball until 1889, and was the last African-American to play in the International League until Jackie Robinson in 1946.

Measures true to original 1888-89 Old Judge (N173) cards. Features a gold border and blank back with Pre-War Prints stamp. Limited edition of 10.
