Hello Rob,

You are close, just a couple corrections required. The "0" numbered cards are all N172 (not N175). Between the three poses, there are 14 possible cards, you list an extra cabinet on pose 3 that isn't catalogued.

Our book was based on the Cartophilic listing which is the most comprehensive checklist available. We began with the Cartophilic listing, made several hundred updates, and used this for compiling player and pose count by year, various charts/stats, and the set's checklist. For Hank O'Day, the updated Cartophilic listing looks like this:

355-1 Bat at ready, looking at camera
a. O'Day, P. Washington (B-0173-A, Es)
b. O'Day, Pitcher, Washington (B-0164-B, B-0173-B)
355-2 Ball in R/hand head high
a. O'Day, P. Washington (B-0174-A, G)
b. O'Day, Pitcher, Washington (B-0174-B)
c. O'Day, P., Washingtons (Fc)
d. O'Day, P. New Yorks (G)
355-3 Pitch, hands at chest
a. O'Day, P. Washington (B-0175-A)
b. O'Day, Pitcher, Washington (B-0175-B)
c. O'Day, P., Washingtons (Fc)
d. H. O'Day, P. Washington (Fa)

"B-0XXX-A" & "B-0XXX-B" = 1887 N172 (type "A" & "B" leading "0" cards)
"Es" = Gypsy Queen/N175 (an 1887 issue)
Fa = 1888 N172 (one of two styles for 1888, other being Fb)
Fc = 1889 N172
G = Cabinet (Colored mount = 1888, Dogs Head = 1889, otherwise could be either 1888 or 1889 issue date. Team can sometimes help narrow issue date to specific year. O'Day with New York is certainly a late 1889 cabinet - purchased by NY from Washington on 7/26/1889.)
