"After intense discussion both at last years National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore as well as through phone calls and emails with noted hobby historians and advanced enthusiasts the overall thought to this being Albert Spalding rested between 85-90%"
I would like to see or hear the evidence that that is Spalding. Basing it on where the picture was purchased is pretty flimsy. They don't even know what team it is. I'm pretty sure those type of uniforms are not exclusive to the 1870's either. it is a cool photograph even if it is just some unknowns, though
