Nov. 9, 1889 Harper’s Weekly Front Page with HoF New York Catcher Buck Ewing.
Lot 29. Nov. 9, 1889 Harper’s Weekly Front Page with HoF New York Catcher Buck Ewing. Batting .327 and providing leadership as the team captain, Ewing helped the Giants to win a second consecutive National League championship in 1889. Fifty years later, he was the first catcher inducted into the Hall of Fame. Many experts consider him the best all-round player of the 19th century. The 11” x 16” page containing the woodcut print of Ewing displays as vg-ex with a horizontal fold. Close-up, four edge tears are evident; all have been neatly reinforced with tape on the back. There is a very tiny chip in the upper left corner. The page is exceptionally clean and bright and will make an excellent addition to a Harper’s collection.
Winning Bid $113.
