As Kevin pointed out, Wiki incorrectly chose a Kid Baldwin error card for Lady. Goodwin & Co. correctly issued that same pose in 1888 (Cincy catcher) but mixed up the 1889 re-issue (Detroit pitcher).
Lady Baldwin is a tougher OJ and I'm sure those who would like to add a copy are excited over the two examples currently being offered. As many of you know, I track Detroit 19th century cards closely. I initially thought the REA example was the same high grade card that changed hands a couple times between 2004 and 2006, but it is in fact a different card that is new to me. I hope more and more copies keep coming (of all his poses).
I predict a strong price for the eBay Baldwin, it is a nice card.
