Member pick-up, a nice upgrade to my E94 set. And I think I'm out of my allowance for the month...

I just got my first 19th century card - A&G Keefe.

I don't have any reason to believe it's fake, as the eBay seller has several positive feedbacks for selling other A&Gs. There were multiple other bidders, and the final price was not unduly low - maybe 10% lower than I had expected. The print dots seem consistent with the tobacco cards I have, and it passes the black light test. But I don't have any other A&Gs to compare it with, so please let me know if anything makes you think it's fake. The stock feels quite thick and sturdy, more so than T206s for example.

One issue is that it measures 1/16" short of 1.5"x2.75" in both directions. Can A&Gs have size variations, or is this one likely trimmed? The right edge looks a little crooked/bowed in the photo, but it seems ok when I line it up against the edge of a top loader.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Finally got an ever elusive 1914 Cracker Jack #122 Bush!
One of the lowest graded pop CJs around (31 amongst BVG, PSA and SGC) only #87 Cady has a lower combined pop at 30

Great member transaction...thanks Rob G.!

One of the nicest looking cards in the set. Took me a while to realize that he isn't miming batting, he is ready to pitch without a glove.
