I'm starting to wonder if photos were ever taken of the teams listed below. So far I've searched auction archives, the Hall of Fame archives, the NYPL, the NY Historical Society, the Boston Library, and others, but have never seen a team photo or player composite of any of these teams. Can anyone confirm their existence?

1880 Boston Red Caps.
1881 Buffalo Bisons
1883 Buffalo Bisons
1884 Buffalo Bisons
1887 New York Giants
1893 Washington Senators

I'm pretty sure that I have seen an 1887 NY Giants, not so sure about the others. Don't recall where though.........

I'd be interested if there is a pic of 1893 Buffalo Bisons (Jimmy Collins).
Also, 1895 Louisville Colonels (Jimmy Collins).

Thanks, Bill.

Has anyone seen any of the above team photos for those years? Still no luck in locating them after much searching.
