I am in the process of getting my next auction together and have been consigned this cabinet photo of the Terre Haute Blues, circa 1883-1885 I believe. During this era, several future MLers played on the Blues team, none of which immediately jump out at me. Does anyone else see anyone they can ID? This item sold prior on ebay, here is a Worthpoint link, not sure how much info the listing provided as I do not have a subscription. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-blues-baseball-team-cabinet-1813985301

I figure a few hundred set of eyes are better than one!

I don't have help for the ids, but the 1884 roster can be seen here for anyone that might recognize a few faces:

The guy seated wearing a suit looks like Al Buckenberger.

Barry, that seems to be the consensus in some messages and emails, others appear to be Seward, Van Dyke, Mappes and Moore, as well as Ed Miller. Anyone else care to make a guess?
