The Old Judge (N172) card set was released between 1887 and 1890 by Goodwin & Company to promote their Old Judge tobacco brand. There are over 500 players in the set from the National League, American Association and the Players League of 1890, as well as many minor league clubs from that time period. The first release in 1887 included thirteen cards saluting the St. Louis Browns World Championship in 1886. From 1885 - 1888, the Browns won four straight American Association Championships, and in 1886 the won their only World Series over Cap Anson and the Chicago club from the National League. In 1887, the Browns were at the top of the baseball world, and this series (along with the Scrapps set commemorating the 1888 World Series) reflect that position.
