Two extremely difficult issues that include cards of some of my favorite Detroit players. If the elite few that have examples of these cards don't mind, please share a couple new poses with us, especially any of the Detroits. Thank You !

1888-89 E223 G&B Chewing Gum Detroits
- Lady Baldwin
- Dan Brouthers
- Charlie Getzien
- Ned Hanlon
- Sam Thompson (Detroit?)
- Larry Twitchell (Cleveland?)

1888 N403 Yum Yum Tobacco Detroits
- Lady Baldwin
- Dan Brouthers
- Charlie Getzien

At least those are the catalogued examples.

If I understand these two sets correctly, all the Detroits are line drawings since they are all action poses, no portraits. The E223 Twitchell with Cleveland is a portrait, so I assume it is an actual photo. I'll get it started by showing the LOC example of Getzein's Yum Yum. Due to the rarity, I'll understand if I get no replies, but I'm hopeful.
