I can't say for sure since I didn't buy it from GFG but I'll be darn if it doesn't match up pretty well to it and it has the same back problems as the cards I bought from the Oregon Find. That find had just one Sterling it in, he's very rare

When you asked that question I had no idea but I was wondering just how much time you spent looking at that Oregon Find that you made that connection!
 I seriously pictured you seeing the card posted by me and knowing right away.

How can you be sure that Farrar is a Players League card. To me, it looks just like the common two 153-6c Farrars that I own. Most Players League cards have a PL on the photo, yes? Also, all PL cards were 1890 (not 1887) as this was the only year of the PL. Maybe Jay can chime in...most PL cards are also one of a kind (or nearly so) as well, you having two is rather hard to swallow. Fairly certain what you have is just two common OJs. (in which case, I might actually be interested in the lower condition one). Just wondering...

As I said it is an 1890 card and if you look closely at the picture off to the right of his foot you will see the (PL). The other one I have also is the exact same pose, has the (PL) in the exact same spot. That designation can be found in all different places on the card. I have a Hallman, which isn't even listed as a possible card in the Old Judge book and the PL is next to the team name on the card. That card is likely unique. This Farrar pose I have has at least 3 known examples, two of which are mine and the reason I am able to move one of them

I've included a scan of the other card and enlarged them to show the PL a little better in both, off to the right of his left heel.
