Jos Wood took the photographs that were used by Goodwin & Co in the spotted tie subset. The two cabinets that you have were from a team shoot of the 1886 Metropolitans, NY's American Association representative. Not every player whose photograph was taken made it into the spotted ties subset. I have an identical cabinet of Dude Esterbrook. He was on the Mets when these photos were taken, but was traded to the Giants before the issue of the spotted ties (solely a Mets issue). Because of this he does not have a spotted tie card.
