Love these

[Kawika]

Every one I've seen is a great portrait. Technically very competent, artistically grasping the essence of the player. Never get tired of seeing them.

My one and only.

One of my favorite cards. It's Hugh Jennings' only card as a player other than his impossible Alpha card.

This will be a fun thread. Here is one of my most prized pieces- I think Hans looks like Fred Flintstone (same pose as e107)

Thank you omg

How about W600-adjacent?

[Baseball Rarities]

I usually do not like images of players in street clothes, but those cabinets of McGraw, Jennings and Wagner are absolutely amazing. Beautiful cards guys.

Mr Chesbro, Mr. Conroy and Mr. Ganzel. No idea why they are different sizes and I guess I should have taken the Conroy out of the bag before I took the photo...

William P. "Bill" Coughlin. "Scranton Bill". "Rowdy Bill". Third baseman with the Washington Nationals in 1899 (NL) and Senators in 1901-1904 (AL). 972 hits and 159 stolen bases in 9 MLB seasons. He was known as a master of the hidden-ball trick. He was a key figure on the Detroit Tiger team that won AL pennants in 1907 and 1908. But his most productive season was 1902 with Washington as he posted an OBP of .348 with 84 runs scored and 71 RBIs in 506 plate appearances. His final seasons were with Detroit in 1904-1908.

The Detroit Tigers teams of 1906–1908, on which Coughlin played, were among the most colorful groups in baseball history, with the flying spikes of Ty Cobb, on-field antics from Germany Schaefer and Charley O'Leary (who toured as a vaudeville act in the off-season), fisticuffs from catcher Boss Schmidt, and the shouts, gyrations, and jigs of Hughie "Ee-Yah" Jennings from the third base coaching box.

Coughlin's role in this colorful bunch was as the maestro of the hidden ball trick. The hidden ball trick is a play in which the runner is deceived about the location of the ball, in an effort to tag him out. Although no known comprehensive list is known to exist of all times when the hidden ball trick has worked, Coughlin reportedly pulled it off seven times (and at three different positions) -- more than any other player in MLB history. He pulled it off on May 12, 1905, against Hobe Ferris of the Boston Red Sox. He did it again on September 3, 1906, catching George Stone in the first inning. In Game 2 of the 1907 World Series, Coughlin caught Jimmy Slagle with a hidden ball trick, the only one in World Series history.

Dont forget The 1899 Sporting News. Great shot of Jennings as a player.

David
Thst same Mathewson image was used over and over here on a 1903 W601 and below on a 1906 Scorecard ( Matty won the game) it is I think his most Iconic
Image.
Also found the image on this 1905 Giants scorecard from opening day 1905 The First year the Giants won a World series title.
Thanks gor sharing your cabinet
Jonathan

[Kawika]

Excellent, Jonathan. It also nails down the year for McGraw's Roto image too.

[sb1]

And used for his later W600.

I wonder why Matty was never photographed by Horner?

Albert L. "Al" Orth. Pitcher with the Washington Senators in 1902-1904. 204 wins and 6 saves in 15 MLB seasons. He was the MLB wins leader in 1906. He was known as "The Curveless Wonder" relying on control and differing speed. His best season may have been 1901 with Philadelphia as he posted a 20-12 record with a 2.27 ERA in 281.2 innings pitched. He umpired, when necessary as a player, and in one game umpired and pinch-hit in the same game. He debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1895-1901. He finished his career with the New York Highlanders in 1904-1909. He debuted as an umpire in the NL in 1912 and in 1917 was the umpire when Toney and Vaughn each pitched 9 innings of no-hit baseball, the only time it has happened.

An excerpt from Orth's SABR biography explains how Orth "juiced up" his delivery in 1904: Shortly after his arrival with the Highlanders, Orth turned his season around, helping to keep New York in the pennant race until the last day of the season with an 11-6 record and league-average 2.68 ERA. Orth’s turnaround was probably due in part to teammate Jack Chesbro, who rode the spitball to a 41-win season that year. Orth himself said he first used the spitball at the end of the 1904 season and considered the pitch “more effective than a curve” with a “quicker break.” Orth threw it “regularly” in the 1905 season, as he posted an 18-16 record with a 2.86 ERA for the sixth place Highlanders.
