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 Old Judge release in 1888 included cards from a short-lived minor league club, the St. Louis Whites, which was formed by Chris Von der Ahe to play in the Western Association in 1888. The club only lasted a few months, but its existence was memorialized in card board in the Old Judge set.
The scans below are only some of the cards from the set which picture players with the St. Louis Whites. For a list of all poses that I know of, look here.
