New to 162s - is this a trimmed and skinned N162 Brouthers, or is the blank back indicative of something else?
thanks in advance.

edited to correct my post.

I was thinking it could be from the A35, but its the A36 I was thinking of... Album.http://www.oldjudge.com/archive/200604/baseball/19th_century/73/

Frank - intriguing. Does anyone have a bigger image of the page from the Goodwin A36 album? The image I scanned in has a red frame around it and I can't tell if that's present in the album page.

The texture of the edges in the enlarged pix indicates it's an original card that had it's Old judge strip at the bottom cut
off (traces of this strip are evident).
I have had a few such N162's and several also had their backs de-laminated. De-laminated backs on these cards are not
unusual. As many of the N162's were glued in photo albums and in the process of removing them, their backs separated.

It is definitely not a "cut-out" from the A36 album

The dark colors (stripe on bat) on the album match up perfectly to the card. Even where it changes from a dark brownish red to a lighter oranger color.

Also the texture of the back (waffled) is unusual for a skinned card.

may be the back. I hate opening my album as it's ex/mt and subject to damage. I'll look later for you.....
