This cool piece is a 137-year old baseball card, issued as part of the Kimball's Champions set way back in 1887. The set features prominent sporting stars, with a handful of baseball players. E.A. "Ernie" Burch is recorded as having played three seasons of "big" league baseball. SABR provides more detail, showing he was embroiled in a bitter contract dispute that ultimately left a sour taste for playing professionally. He appears to have left organized ball shortly after this card was issued. Graded 1 PR by SGC, it's a great opportunity to pick up an ancient hobby relic at a great price!
