Barry--There are a lot of oddities. Why didn't Ewing, one of the preeminent players of the day, have an 1887 Old Judge card? BTW, Brouthers, also a star, had only three poses.
The issue with Anson in Uniform may also be that Anson didn't like the card. Remember from the book that the card is a composite of Anson's head and Dalrymple's body. Maybe he didn't like this and had his card pulled. Who knows?
