great image!

1894 Baltimore
 

In my personal opinion, this has more contrast/clarity than most, not to mention 7 HOFs. I love it.

WoW!

Ted...
 

This big guy completed my set.

Who has the cabinet photo with the guy hiding up in a tree in the background? I think its a photo of a day of baseball with some shenanigans going on in a couple of places within the photo...?

19th Century
 

Peter,

Out of curiosity, does the Big Guy complete a set of 50 or exclusively the BB Players only? Either way, congratulations!

Glenn

congrats!! Nice card too....

N165 ......circa 1889

would love to hear more about this----anybody?
link?

The OP asked "Where have all the 19th century posters gone?"

This 3"x5" Kelly isn't a poster, but it was once part of one (poster image is a reproduction).

haha...i considered quantifying...just the bb players!!!

thanks folks!

I think the consensus was that it was a family reunion photo with a pickup baseball game. There was another similar photo with a dead guy in his casket cropped into a team photo (If I remember correctly). These were shown probably ten years ago now...

I believe this "Score-card," which shows the results of the NL games played on August 16, 1889, would have been posted on the following day in the store of Geo. W. Cochran & Co., tobacconist, which was located at 1115 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington DC. Cochran started his business 1847, and by the 1880's, was the largest such establishment south of Baltimore. S. Ottenberg & Bros. operated a large cigar factory (factory no. 1065) in lower Manhattan, NYC.

You will note that John Clarkson of Boston, who led the NL in most categories, including wins and shutouts, in 1889, hurled a 2-hit shutout over Cleveland. And, both Connie Mack (Washington) and Buck Ewing (NY) caught losing efforts that day.

Val, I find your scorecard very interesting, nice piece!

No Troy scorecards, but I have this one thanks to a board member. It, too, is from 1871 the first year of the National Association and features the Washington Olympics and the Boston Red Stockings.
I wish I knew how to make the scan bigger.

I would especially love to see the Lip Pike.

1887 Chicago-Boston scorecard
 

Here's a sweet "mini" National League scorecard (approximately 4"x6" inches). Great that this little gem survived!

Ted:

That's awesome!

In 1884, Washington was an expansion team in the American Association. But, the team fared poorly and folded after its August 2nd home loss to the NY Metropolitans, who got 3 runs in the 9th to win by a score of 6 - 5. Here's Washington's game schedule for 1884 along with a scored scorecard for Washington's final game. What I find to be especially interesting is that the original owner of these items hand noted the disbanding of the team on both of them:

Val:

Nice!

Kevin

P.S. I think they could have squeezed poor Charlie Reipschlager's full last name in there! :D

Joe G. and Kevin C., thanks for your kind words. There are lotsa absolutely fantastic items in this thread!

1866 CDV Belvidere IL.
 

I showed this years ago but it fits here also. The Mystic BBC only existed in 1866 when they lost to the Rockford Forest City BBC 123-8. After that "Loss" they merged with the Belvidere BBC and took the name Phoenix. The Phoenix lost to A.G. Spaldings Rockford club again in 1867 but only 24-16

Note the catcher for Washington on July 15, 1886...

Thanks Kevin

I wish that more of these Troy Haymakers would come out of the woodwork.

Welcome back Jimmy L. Are you still located down in Zika-land?

Hey Rob, glad to know you're still posting here!

Now that Zika mosquitos have arrived in miami all I can say is that I'm cornered.

Bet you remember this handsome fella... It's been what? 15 years?

Ah, that was my very first baseball CDV.

19th Century
 

1890's Cabinet Photo. Note the fingerless glove on the player to the left.

On display is my very last remaining Old Judge....Jim Fogarty.

I sold or traded all my other OJ's.

Kept Fogarty because he played for the original Phillies (Quakers) team.


:) Furthermore, he is the "Great-Grandfather" of John Fogerty (of CCR fame).....and, that great BB HOF song "Centerfield" :)

OK guys....this may sound " way out ! " Whatever, consider this....Jim and John were both born in San Francisco.

Ted--Where is the info about the relationship between Jim Fogarty and John Fogerty from? Obviously, the names are spelled differently, and Jim died at an early age from TB and I have seen no mention of him having a family.

Jimmy welcome back. Would love to see what's in those stacks of cdvs and stereoviews!

To quote Animal House - "Forget it, he's rolling."

Jay

I enclosed that sentence with :) :) and quotation marks. Really, I was joking.

I was thinking the exact same thing! It would be great to see that entire stack spread out.

This is an awesome thread...it's great to see the diversity of 19th century items that are out there. Here are a bunch more that haven't been show yet.

1) Circa 1864 university cricket club (either Haverford or maybe Penn)
2) 1860's 1/6 plate tintype
3) Circa 1865 brass baseball belt buckle manufactured in Philadelphia
4) 1889 Boston BBC promotional print - Jordan, Marsh & Co.
5) Circa 1890 'A Stolen Base?' lithograph by Louis Prang
6) 1865 Frank Leslie's woodcut featuring James Creighton
