Those are great Jeff!

Thanks Jeff.
Only about a dozen to go.

Beauties, Jeff. Good luck with your quest for the rest.

...:)

Love the Pinkerton's Jeff. Which ones are you still needing?

Plank, Mack, Bender, the 2nd Collins (Hi Matt), and a group of non-Hofers numbering 10+
I have a Barry that I can't locate the scan for
Plus I don't buy the paper mounts, so it's a marathon at this point

You have the Shoeless Joe? Nice

Pete,
No - I'm just working on an A's team set

Nice Zach Wheat cabinet photo, Kenny.

I like this one despite the condition. Great cabinets from everyone else!

Any one know who this might be? This was in with some of Zach Wheats stuff but I dont know who it is.

2 of my cabinets
 

Here is a Jake Beckley O J cabinet and a late 1800's cabinet of an unidentified player. Does he look familiar to anyone?

The OJ book lists no Beckley N173 cabinets in private hands, with only 1 known in a museum collection. Is this example a new discovery?

Here's three cabinets of I've been told are : Fred Wood, Sam Wise and John McGeachy. Any opinions or verification of these ?

Beckley Cabinet
 

Gary,

In September 2010 I had a thread about the Beckley cabinet that I have had in my collection for over 20 years. Sorry I'm not sure how to attach that thread but typing in "Beckley cabinet" in the search will pull it up.

Wise man
 

The man with the bowler hat and walking stick is definitely Sam Wise. I have a cabinet from the same session so labeled by Tim Murnane.

Wood and McGeachy cabinet photos
 

The image from the Farmer Brothers cabinet photo was used as the source photo for the woodcut illustrating Fred Wood's bio published in the New York Clipper on 02-Jan-1886. Based on the photographer's stamp, I believe the photo was most likely taken in 1885, when Wood played for two Hamilton-based teams.

The image from the Arthur & Pailbric cabinet photo was used as the source photo for the woodcut illustrating Jack McGeachey's bio (spelled McGeachy in the paper) published in the Clipper on 13-Sep-1890. It most likely dates from 1886, when he played for the Detroit Wolverines.

Both appear to have been correctly identified.

Thanks, Russ. I missed that one.

Some great late additions to the thread.

Here is the old post that discussed the new Beckley find (thanks Russ):

I'm thrilled to see Bob Richardson posting. Jay Miller brought it to my attention, we were both surprised. Great to have you posting, not sure how I missed that you have 20 posts dating back to May of last year.

Lastly, great to see positive ID on Mike's cabinets. The "man in business suit" cabinets with claims of being a baseball player often end in disappointment.

Great cards all around.

is that a women baseball player?

On the back it says "Pat"

In support of SPEC's correct assertion that Sam Wise is depicted on insidethewrapper's cabinet. Face from cabinet below left, Wise in a Boston uniform below right.

bump, Any new cabinets people?

This one just arrived recently. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm guessing it's a baseball team (riding in the coach) sponsored by the organization that resides in the background building (you can see 'SBAC' on the coach and also below the awning in the background). For $20, it was nice enough.

South Broadway Athletic Club - St. Louis, Missouri
 

Hi Scott,

I almost pulled the trigger on that one. It's a neat photo... Congrats. I had done some research on it. Here is a little blurb I found on what I think it is?

Hope this helps.

"The South Broadway Athletic Club has come a long way since it was founded on December 5th, 1899. Originally geared towards Boxing, Wrestling, and other sporting events, the club now hosts a wide variety of social gatherings. From dances to holiday parties, the SBAC is able to accommodate a wide range of events."

Thanks. Yeah, it could be anything - with everyone wearing mums, it might have been a dance. The fact that it's a thick soft-look albumen makes me think it might even be the opening of the club - age on this would be right around 1900, just based on the mount. The photo itself looks older, but I guess that's impossible :).

Well it ain't baseball but I was very happy to add this M128 Police Gazette John L. Sullivan to my festival of bric-a-brac:
