"1888" GOODWIN CHAMPIONS (N162) cards are actually an 1889 set
Quote:
Hi Joe Pardon me for differing with you here......but, it appears to me that the titles "Captain" & "Manager" in that era were interchangeable. For example, SABR's bio on "King" Kelly states: "Kelly was named captain and manager of the Boston Reds". We know Kelly was a playing-manager in 1890 in Boston. And, if I recall correctly, Kelly's N173 cabinet identifies him as: Kelly, Capt. Boston And, of course this N173 is dated as an 1889 card. Or perhaps, is it possibly an 1890 issue ? I bring up this possibility because of the intriguing story about the George Toffling proof card (page 69 in your OLD JUDGE book). Which raises the question>were some N173's issued in 1890 ? I still think the term "Capt." on the N162 card of Dunlap represents "Manager". As, I have not seen anything indicating he was the Pittsburgh team Captain in 1888. N172, N173, etc., etc. cards of Anson identify him as "Capt."...... although he was a playing-manager from 1879 - 1898. Take care my friend, TED Z T206 Reference .
