Even more spectacular artwork is found in some of the 10 non-baseball pages in this Goodwin album.

Fun thread

Recent addition.

Great photo Gary. Ideas on date and players? They almost look like cricketers.

Leon-The baseball CdV was in the album pictured on this post. The album contained many Civil War era images as well. The baseball CdV is dated 1867 at the top. The players names are listed at the bottom and the picture was taken in Sante Fe, New Mexico. This is the earliest baseball CdV I have ever seen from west of the Mississippi. I have been in contact with the the New Mexico Historical Society, as well as other New Mexico organizations, regarding the image. Researching it is still a work in progress, but I believe the image will end up in some New Mexico historical publication eventually. The fact that there was a baseball team in the New Mexico Territory in 1867 amazes me. I also have a baseball CdV taken in the Dakota Territory, but it is from about 1880.

Thanks for sharing. How exciting!!! Congratulations my friend. I love those really old CDVs.

Wow !
 

Gary - Thanks for sharing - WOW ! I dig the CDV's as well. Does the reverse have any writing on it ? Nice find !

Jeremy,
The reverse has the photographer's stamp: N Brown & Son

Santa Fe, NM
There is no writing on the reverse. The front has the year "1867" written at the top and the names of the players on the bottom: Keiting,Watts,Thacher.

Got this last week, need 10 more to complete the set:

Mrs Ward at her not so best.

Great thread with some amazing images! Here's a circa 1888 trimmed cabinet of Jim Kennan, Cincinnati Red Stockings

Bruce,
Nice Lone Jack!

I picked up this one at the National from a board member.

I'd be lots happier if Comiskey weren't in this set.

I love the Comiskey Bob :D

Comiskey
 

The card is fine. It's the man I object to.

Interesting Old Judge
 

What is on the back of this Old Judge is as interesting as what is on the front.

The back has a stamp portraying at-the-time Presidential hopeful Benjamin Harrison and his Vice-Presidential running mate Levi Morton. Wish it was more centered and darker.

Found a set of these on ebay a while back...

Awesome set. I cringed when I saw all of those "floating" cards in the holders. Have you thought about getting them re-holdered like the Anson and Ward so they don't move around and get dinged up?

Awesome piece Kevin!

So I guess you voted for Harrison? :)

Who Do You Think I Am...
 

...Ted Zanidakis? :D

I guess I am a Comiksey fan because I am a Sox fan. I also love readin about how he ticked off the Cubs franchise :D

+1

Bump...

Hey Kevin......
 

Neat Old Judge August Kloff / Ben Harrison card.

And yes, I'm old enough to have voted for Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and perhaps Ben Harrison.


Best regards ole buddy,

This Comiskey is already listed but my wife just bought it for my birthday and this thread hasn't been updated in awhile; its not in my hands yet but she paid for it. And thanks to Phil Garry for helping my wife (for the second time now!). Phil - next time, choose a Police Gazette!

Nice cabinet, Rob! :)

It's been awhile since there has been a post to this thread so I'll add my two Clean Sweep winnings....

Pfeffer could put somebody's eye out with that mustache.

Picked up a couple more from the B&L Auction:

N172 Anson
 

Just picked up this little beauty :D

Also enjoyed this pickup

Haddock wanted in.

My one year anniversary present from my wife - thanks Phil & Kevin...

Nice, she set the bar high on the first anniversary. Can't wait to see what you get for year five? Stick around awhile, you might get an Old Judge complete set by the 50th anniversary!

Nice! I hope you got her something better than flowers! :)

I hand her my credit card and tell her to go buy a watch, she loves watches. Regretfully, since her birthday is Dec. 29, she decided to combine the anniversary gift with her birthday present. First anniversary and I don't like this trend! She already bought herself her Christmas present earlier this month.

This month my collection increased by a Buchner, hers increased by a Michael Kors and a Gucci. She's the big winner in the household pickup thread!

Sounds like you might be the winner somewhere else though, hint, hint, nudge, nudge :)

Nice Anson

Since it's been a month since this thread has been updated, I will add my latest...

Here's two of the three Cincy players in the N300 set. Still looking for a Ewing. Well, still looking for a Ewing that I can afford.

It's been a few months since this thread has been updated so I'll get it restarted....
