Is there any kind of comprehensive list somewhere for the N172 set that includes all the known variations and poses?

Is that one Hoy card from 1887? Thats odd since he didnt make the majors till April of 88 and all of his other cards that ive seen say 1888.

Beautiful collection Julie- you did good. I'm in to my "only say nice things phase" after the slings and arrows I've suffered on the board in the past 24 hours. Am I correct to say that of all the players pictured in Old Judge, Dummy Hoy was the last survivor, having died in 1961? I think I am right on that one.

John, interesting point. It would seem that the only possible date on that card is 1887, couldn't be an 8 or 9 on the end.

He is the last known survivor Barry,but complete information isnt known for all the players so its impossible to say for sure that he is.Lets just say hes the oldest known,and a very good chance the oldest overall.

The opposite spectrum of him is the Pittsburgh 1st baseman Alex McKinnon who passed away in early July of 1887

As far as Hoy poses/variations go.He supposedly has 9 variations total that include 5 different poses.So Julie is almost at the halfway point,and shes only missing one pose which can be seen in the Oregon Find on gfg's page but i dont believe its still for sale.

I only have the catching upper left hand corner pose, but I'm in awe of the clarity of all your images.
I just picked up an Epson 6600 psc, but it's not set up yet.
What settings did you use to get those images.
Thanks.

--didn't I read something about Washington called Hoy up, but he didn't stay in '87? Or am I confusing him with J.Jackson and Philadelphia? The encyclopedia has '88 as his first year--but it sure was a FULL year; he played almost every game.

Buck Barker wrote '88 as his first year on the back of the squatting pose...

Joe, I'll e-mail you about my scanner. GET YOURS SET UP FIRST, so you'll know what's giving you problems.

I dont know when Hoy first signed with Washington but ive read a story about his minor league team being sold in nov of 1887,and then he and Tommy McCarthy left the team for the majors.It made it sound like the guy paid alot to get the team then lost 2 key players.Ive also read a short article from early 1888 that doesnt mention him signing to play with Washington yet and from every other source ive seen they mention him starting his career in the majors in 1888(with no mention of signing before that).I still dont understand how he has an 1887 card or why they would take a pic of him with the team before that.

It could just be a copyright date error which would be easily explained by the difference in Washington uniforms and backgrounds on 1887 and 1888 cards.

1887 have black pants,plain white shirts and are black background studio shots.
1888 all white uniforms,with W on the shirt,and backgrounds are the outdoor backdrop
