True Crime Trading Card: Johnny Torrio

This is a collectible trading card featuring John 'Papa Johnny' Torrio, a notorious Italian-American mobster who helped build the Chicago Outfit. The card features a painterly, illustrated portrait of Torrio in a head-and-shoulders composition, rendered in a realistic but stylized manner with visible brushstrokes particularly in the flesh tones and the bright yellow scarf or turtleneck he is wearing. He has a somber expression with dark, slicked-back hair. The name 'JOHNNY TORRIO' is printed at the bottom in a bold, black sans-serif font against a crisp white border. The artwork appears to be signed vertically on the left side, though the signature is partially obscured. Based on the surrounding cards visible in the photo—including 'THE SLUM GANGS', 'HINDLEY & BRADY', and a checklist titled 'MURDERERS'—this card is part of a true crime themed series, likely from the 'True Crime' set released by Eclipse Trading Cards in the early 1990s. The card is currently housed in a transparent plastic collector's sleeve, appearing to be in excellent condition with sharp corners and no visible surface scratches or creases, though a light reflection is present on the plastic during photography. The paper quality appears to be standard cardstock with a semi-gloss finish.
