Here is Zach Wheat when he played for the Prairie Roses of Kansas City. He is the player on the left of the top row.

Hey Jeremy & Leon

OK, I'll play your silly game......here's a vintage Cabinet of me (circa 1943) when I enlisted into the Navy
for duty during WW II. I hold the record for the youngest enlisted Sailor :)

Ted - That's the spirit! With Veterans day coming up, a very nice segway into another thread I am sure... (My dad was in the Navy for several years. Thanks for your service Vets!)

- Great Ted Z Cabinet. Priceless. :)

If anyone wants to see possibly the most interesting and best collection on Net 54, go to Bruce's website. I'm blown away each and every time I poke around on there.

Nope, haven't figured it out.

Indeed. Bruce has one of my favorite cabinets in the world (Hugh Duffy). He could post it here every day and I'd never get sick of seeing it.

I'm not sure if this 1904 Buffalo Bisons team card qualifies as a Cabinet. The picture measures 4" x 5" and
is on a 7" x 9" mount. In any event it's my favorite. It was a "walk-in" at the Cooperstown Show in 1994.

Familiar guys are Stallings, Clymer, Joe Delehanty, Grimshaw, Kisinger, LaPorte, Natress, Al Shaw, Yerkes.

I'm curious, does anyone on this forum have an idea what this team card is worth ?

From B&L auctions, a Cuban cabinet

If you look at the vast majority of the items posted, the player isn't looking directly at the camera. Why is this?

Given that the necessary exposure times then were much longer than today's (no "point and click") and the likelihood that the photographer was using a strong light, it would have been difficult to keep looking directly at the camera. The long exposure time is also why the early photographic portraits do not feature people smiling.

Thanks for the insight!

How long were the exposures for cabinets and 19th century cards such as Old Judge?

By the late 1880s, "instantaneous" photography was commonplace. Exposure times were often a fraction of a second. This made it possible to capture galloping horses in great detail etc. Some Old Judge cards show the player peering directly into the camera, others do not. The rare smile has more to do with what was deemed acceptable and appropriate vs a concern of holding a steady face during the exposure timeframe.

As a follow-up to my previous post, here is a game-in-progress photo dating to 1888 (I have negative and created this photo). Game is in Philadelphia with Detroit at bat. There are several players and an umpire on the move and while the clarity of the moving objects isn't perfect, it is pretty good. I believe the scene is near the tail end of a double that scores the runner who was on first. The lone umpire has moved from behind home plate to second base to be closer to a potential close call. This was undoubtedly a form of instantaneous photography.

Whoa.

Joe, that is an INCREDIBLE photo. I would LOVE a print of that.

Thanks for sharing that!

-Al

Thanks, Joe; I stand corrected.

It's interesting to see the on-field photos from the deadball era; the outfielders were usually positioned very close to the infield. Today, the outfielders are this close only when a long fly ball will bring in the winning run and they want to cut off singles.

Really happy to pick this one up. Connie Mack as a player/manager. I've seen the larger 14X19 composite photos, but this is the first cabinet size photo I've seen. If anyone has seen another, I'd love to hear about it. I really love these cabinet/19th century threads, always amazing eye candy.

Jeremy

That is a beutiful cabinet with Mack.
Interestingly, the Taylor photo appears to be the same shot in the E107 set.

Joe- The Taylor photo is certainly the same. Great eye.

Jerry- Why do have to do that to me? Amazing Randall photo!! I'm jealous

Thanks Jeremy.
There some amazing Cabinets in this thread, I've been drooling over them since the start.

Jeremy - Very nice ! I really like the look of this one... it's busy and I like it.
