One we have seen pictures of, but never in person, and never one for sale. Only a few of these exist, if that. Best of all, this 9 1/4" x 11" cardboard poster pictures him in his 1880s Chicago uniform. Also perhaps THE classic image of our greatest 19th Century player. Has a stubbed bottom right corner, and small tear at top but otherwise in excellent, crisp condition. Anson won the election, but was immersed in scandal which was no big surprise for Chicago politicians of that time (or any, for that matter).
