Default Authentic trading card

I opened a pack of Historic autographs and got the below card in it. I was hoping someone from here would be able to help me identify the card inside of it. The back is just plain white with no words. Sorry for the large scan.

Your link appears to be referencing something in your google email. You need to upload it somewhere else first.

Thanks, I didn't realize that was the link I grabbed.

This should work better

Don't think it is anyone significant. There is no checklist for this.

https://www.historicautographcompany.com/gilded-age

Go to "Buy Back Cards" and they have no checklist. It will just tell you it is a vintage tobacco or candy card issued between 1887-1912.

Could be from one of the Nineteenth Century (N-) sets like N245. Although it looks a little larger than the N245 size. Not all N245s had the Actress name at the bottom.

Is it blank-backed or can you see the back?

You could root around on this site:

Focus on the ones that say Actresses or Beauties.

Thank you for the help. Yes it is blank backed.

I think after comparing a lot of pictures it might be of Marion Manola. I could be wrong

Default Actress

There are dozens of sets of actress cards from the 1880's and 90's. I would be surprised if your card is worth more than a couple of bucks.

I'm not really interested in the money so much as knowing what the card is.
