There is a lot going on in the background of this image. Pigs in tree's, pigs in windows, pigs on top of buildings, pigs peeking through the outfield wall. All just to catch a glimpse of the game. Love it!
With its original matching card sharing the same image.

Love that, and was watching it closely at auction. Glad you snagged it! I really love the graphics, and how the "First Base Pig" is reaching for a can of lard instead of a baseball. Awesome piece of early baseball artwork!
