I am considering collecting the 1889 Indianapolis Hoosiers N172 Old Judge cards. I am from Indiana and the history behind these cards, players, team, etc. has me curious. I am looking for any information that any of you have regarding collecting this team. Difficulty? Availability? Potential trading? Additional 1889 items? I feel some sort of need to pursue this thanks to Joe and Jay. I thank them now, but may regret this later!
Below is the 1889 roster along with the pose number that I have found to have a card from 1889. My research has come from the greatest book that I cannot put down, The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Company (1886 – 1890) and other research has been done on metmuseum, cardtarget, REA, google and ebay. The cards listed with an * I currently own. The cards in ( ) may not have an 1889 version available, which is one of the things that I do not know.
Charley Bassett: 22-2 (cannot find a card for 22-1)
Henry Boyle: 36-1, 36-4 (cannot find a card for 36-2, 36-3)
Dick Buckley: 49-1, 49-3, *49-4, 49-5 (cannot find 49-2)
Bill Burdick: 52-1, 52-2, 52-3 (cannot find 52-4)
Con Daley: 112-1, 112-2 (cannot find 112-3, 112-4, 112-5)
Jerry Denny: 124-1, 124-2 (cannot find 124-3)

Jim Whitney: 498-3 (cannot find 498-1, 498-2)
Varney Anderson, Ed Andrews and Gus Krock: These players are on the 1889 roster and are listed in the book, but I do not believe that they have an Indianapolis card.
Jack Fanning, Jack Fee, Andy Sommers and Jack Weckbecker: These players are on the 1889 roster, I cannot find a card for them and they are not listed in the book.
Thank you all in advance for any and all input.
