These are cutouts from The Sporting News circa 1898-99. This is the closest I have ever come to seeing an issue of The Sporting News from this era.

This n43 Geo. Miller arrived today. For those of you that saw this on ebay, it does not have a Fish from American Waters back as was shown in the ebay auction.

Thanks, Joe! Gotta love the Dr. J card with the 'fro.

Chuck

Man I still catch myself wanting to wear the tall ole tube socks.

Now, guys are wearing these little socks that are just below ankle level. Back in the 70's, you would a had a fist mark on your face for wearing those.

Other social male "NO WAY" in 70's:earrings, pink shirts

[mcap100176]

Just won this last night, now just two left to complete the set.

[GaryPassamonte]

Addition from a couple months ago. 1866 Lowells of Boston.

[barrysloate]

That's one of your best CdV's Gary.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Nice pick-up, Michael.

[Leon]

Nice CDV Gary. Nice Mayo too....Mcap...

I guess this one fits here now.... Still not collecting 19th century unless it's something I find interesting. I am up to 2 cards now!!

[GaryPassamonte]

Leon- As Barney Fife would say, "Nip it in the bud." The allure of the CdV will become too strong and you won't be able to fight it off. Save yourself before it is too late. You don't want to end up like me, do you!

Hey Gary
Even if I wanted to get back into 19th Century stuff I don't have the resources to do it. That being said I have told several people lately that the little 1860s CDV is one of my favorite cards now. It has really grown on me. In doing some searching it's very difficult to find other 1860s-1870s baseball games in action.

[GaryPassamonte]

Game action CdVs are rare by any definition. That's a real cool CdV you have.

I'm a Boston guy, so maybe I'm biased... but that is a kickass Lowells CDV. They look like a bunch of tough guys with all the bats... great pickup.

[TexasLeaguer]

a couple 19th century pitchers...

[Leon]

Our friendly board member Jo.ann Kli.ne sent over these pics....and here is a bit of commentary on them-

"The team is the Red Apron Nine from 1886, or at least that's what's indicated on the back. I tend to believe that's true. I believe that this photo was taken with the women dressed as they played. Part of the reason I think this is because there is some baseball equipment and they are wearing similar hats. Mostly, though, it's because you can see, if you look closely, that they are all wearing aprons - their front skirt is a slightly different color than the rest of their dresses. Given that no one was plowing money into uniforms for female teams at this time, one of the cheapest ways to accomplish a uniform look would have been to wear aprons. Like, red aprons.

So I think they are wearing red aprons in this photo, along with hats and some equipment. And because of that, I think that the photo shows them as they played. And THAT makes this one of the very very few images I've seen that shows women in full long-skirt uniforms. The 1866 Vassar photos (fairly well-known) also shows long skirts. But that's about it. Even by 1890, the Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cabinet shows them in shorter skirts and leggings/stockings.

I think this is very cool for that reason - playing in long skirts!"
