Show off your cabinet cards. I've always loved how amazing these cards have looked.

Only ones I have scanned. Shown before(hopefully you guys not tired of them)

Only one I have Pete, But I like it. Carl Horner Cabinet of Harry Howell (same picture as his T206 portrait)

Pete:

Thanks for starting this thread, while I weave my way through T206 threads at least this is one subject that I can enjoy.

Phil, you poor guy - that Howell cabinet must have given you a start!

very rare "action pose" ;)

Thanks, Scott, just had a really good laugh although initially I did miss Greg's reference to T206 in his cabinet card post.

:D couldn't resist

1886 Tomlinson Cabinets
 

After enjoying the 19th century thread, I see this one and will post a couple more Tomlinson cabinets I don't believe I've posted before. Many of the best cabinet cards belong to my favorite era of baseball cards, mid-to-late 1880s.

Introducing Sam Crane and Charles Hall (what a hulk!)

my favorite era, favorite cards. great looking k-bat David, love the Tomlinsons Joe. keep em coming!

Great McCarthy cabinet, Paul. I have never been able to find another one of those.

Brian:

Very nice group of W600's. I thought that you just focused on E107's.

Love the Equipment.

Love the Zach Wheat photo.

Thanks Kenny, this is my new favorite photo - my jaw dropped when it arrived in the mail today.

But it's nothing compared to some of the amazing cabinets in this thread - I didn't realize so many of you guys had such great photo collections.

Love this thread too. gave me another chance to see Ken's Cartwright! That Zach Wheat is awesome too - we never get to see a real action shot of Mr. Wheat. Here's two Cabinets that I have never posted here - Pat Moran Horner and a local cabinet from his home town of Fitchburg Mass. That one also has a beautiful early autograph on the back - I would imagine a toughie too since Mr. Moran passed away in I believe '27. Love cabinet cards. I should have bid higher on the Radbourne back in REA!

Just for fun. How about some kids?

Zach Wheat
 

Here is a picture of Zach Wheat and his brothers Mack and Curtis...Zach is in the middle...

Is it me or does the guy in the middle top row look like he dove head first into a bag.

Cool piece, Kenny. Do you know about how old Wheat is in that photo?

1869 Kearsarge BBC Cabinets. Possibly the earliest known baseball cabinet photos. Cabinet photos were in their infancy in the late 1860's and these photos retain the red perimeter line that was typical to the CDV's that preceeded cabinet cards. These cabinets were produced by Kimball Bros. of Concord N.H. All of the players are identified (there are a total of 11 cabinet photos of different players) as well as their positions. One of the players is Howard Kimball, quite likely one of the "Kimball Bros" that produced the images.

Nice images Rob

Wheat
 

The Wheat has no writing on the back but I am guessing he is about 15.

Zach Wheat
 

Here is Zach Wheat's four month old and 1 year old baby pictures...his real rookie cards...

My Nebraska Indians cabinets....bummed that I got outsniped on one I need on ebay tonight. :(

Same photo as the above, but it is a smaller sized cabinet and if you look closely the date was changed from 1901 to 1902 on the chest protector

Rob, Michael's been reading this thread :)

1866 Baseball cdv's

Hey Scott, If Michael wants to add my group to his "earliest card" collection, he's welcome to it for a small percentage of what he's asking for his CDV set!

Rob M.

Cool Charles Hall Tomlinson Joe! My son is named Charles Hall and he may look similar to that Charles Hall in twenty or so years! My wife got a kick out of that... Thanks for sharing!

Cool Imperial Cabinet of Hamilton Matt, I've never seen it before...

Rob, Those Kimball Bros Cabs are sweet as well Thanks for showing them.

-Matt

Rob- That's a great cabinet set. I really like the look and poses.

Bob:

Very nice Sam Crawford, that's a tough one.

Rules?
 

I still have not figured this one out. I have researched my tail off... One of the most time consuming / fun / aggravating / informational projects I have dealt with. And still no answers...

1999???

1999???
 

Hi Ken,

"1999"? I know... I just cannot help but feel that there is a great story hidden within this photo. I & others have all kinds of ideas, but have not been able to corroborate any of them.

The best I can do is I have found a match on the Policeman's belt buckle "CCP". I have found a photo of a Cook County Police or Chicago City Police officer with a very similar uniform and a match on the buckle.

Now though, I have begun to wonder if it has anything to do with Illinois and the "CCP" for some other state...?

My guess is they were playing a baseball game in the year 1999. I guess they thought in 100 years baseball would be played between men with guns and the umpire would have to be a cop.

I'm pretty sure the big guy is the penguin from all Batman movies. I could be wrong

I Even... Gun Collectors...
 

I even went as far as signing up on a Gun Collectors forum and asked if they could provide any info on the guns. (Hoping for some sort of clue?) They were very helpful but it led down a dead end road.

Interestingly, those guys were intrigued by the (guy with sign) buttoned up pants leg. Debating whether or not a drive chain could be on the left or right side of a motorcycle or bicycle.

One fellow stated the he thought the photo was taken at West Side Park in 1899??? I cannot find any pictures of West Side that match...

You can see his pants leg and the Cycles in the bottom photo.

Here is a photo of the gun!

That appears to be a Stevens Tip Up. Also known as a "pocket rifle".
They had removable shoulder stocks, so they could be used as a rifle or a pistol.

1886 Kansas City Cowboy's National League player. Not identified on the card but believed to be Pete Conway.

That is Conway - nice find.

Judge Landis
 

Here is Kenesaw Mountain Landis holding Zach Wheats children.

Rob, nice cabinet! If Pete Conway, which I believe it is, it dates to just before he was picked up by Detroit (8/5/1886). The comparison portrait you show of Pete with Detroit would date to either late 1886 or just before the start of 1887 season and was taken by Tomlinson Studio. I've never seen the full portrait you've posted, only the oval cutout found on the 1887 team's "Champions of the League" composite (attached below). Could you point me to the source for the full Conway portrait with Detroit? Thank You.

Great photo, Kenny.

What cabinet is that from great image.

Hey Joe - Believe it or not, that bust shot of Pete Conway is from his Wiki web page.

Rob M.

Thank you Rob, I was surprised to see that portrait and even more surprised to learn of Rich Adler's book on U of M baseball. Some real neat information in the first couple chapters (see page 25).

http://books.google.com/books?id=68f...ler%22&f=false

A copy of the book is now on its way to me. Thank You !

Tough night, or..........
 

Looks like the guy in the back row center either had a barroom fight the night before, or took a couple foul tips to the face........ouch!
