Thank you Scott for the info/research. It has allowed me to differentiate between Script letters (as well) on the reverse and actually draw some correlation from the possibility of that name and what is written at the bottom... "Southern BBC" -- C D Bradenburg... Also, I am finding through research on the 19th Century Baseball Teams & Tours Website that in 1870 the Cincy Club was on a Red Stockings Tour and played the Southern BBC of New Orleans. That may be a huge hint for me to figure out who these 2 players were... If the reverse is correct - Southern BBC, it is all starting to add up. Still lots of research to do, but I have some direction now. Appreciate your time & help!
A huge hint - Thank you,
JJ
