So much eye candy, I love it!! Nice Ewing Jay. I was surprised to see an 1887 version of Ewing surface when none had been documented for so long. We knew he was photographed in 1887, but no N172 to show for it.
I will post some of my favorite Detroit cards when I have time to do them justice (new scanner). In the meantime, I will post a recent N172 pick-up of mine that was previously only known as an N173 (locked up in the Wharton-Tigar collection at the British Museum). It is an ugly card but the only known copy of this pose as an N172 (although I'm sure there are others). Beatin played on the 1887 Detroit Wolverine team so I collect him even though he was not issued a card with Detroit. My expectation of actually checking this pose off my want list was nil to none.
