Default Help Needed on 19th Century NY team pic

I have had this picture for many years. It is glued to a scrapbook page, not in the best of shape, blank backed. The "Baseball" printing on the top is stuck to the picture but definitely from something else. Size is 7x9.
Any ideas on what this is and value??
Thanks guys.

Hey Richard,

After a quick glance, I can definitely say that those are the Giants (maybe even the Gothams) at the Polo Grounds. I would imagine the image dates from sometime in the late 1880s or so.

Can you post a better scan?

Graig - I knew it was Giants at Polo Grounds, the players names are at the bottom.
I was just wondering what type of item it is? A litho? Part of a known issue?
This is the best scan I could get to post here.
I can send you a better one by e mail , if you would please post your e mail addy here.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know what the paper stock is but it may be a newspaper supplement.
