The previous list for Harper's Weekly is accurate although it wouldn't surprised me if there are other woodcuts out there. I believe there are a few of the Harper's woodcuts which are undocumented as I've come across them in online searches but have never been able to find the original. They likely came from a regional supplement that was added by the publisher.

I agree with previous posts re starting with the Harper's list and collect what you find appealing vs what some would consider rare. I guess the Creighton woodcut is an exception as it's uncommon and arguably the most beautiful baseball woodcut. I don't have a comprehensive list on the Leslie's side but here are some that I had documented some time back. Some oft the titles are clearly not exact.

07/01/65 – Frank Leslie's – Grand Match between Athletics and Resolute Club
