1889 Oakland BBC Cabinet
 

A member posted this on our forums and wanted to see if anyone can give any info on it. I think it is PCL and know the OJ PCL's go for top dollar.

I can't help or add much - but did want to say....
that is one great looking card!

link not working for me, can someone post the pic?

 

Thanks Rob D.

The PCL did not exist in 1889 (and there are no PCL Old Judge cards). I can't see the names of the players from the scan...can you read them off? It's most likely a California League team.

It is the 1889 Oakland California League team. It is not that expensive an item ($5000-$10,000). It does feature several players included in the Old Judge set. A nicer copy of the cabinet is pictured and described on page 415 of the Old Judge book.

I feel poor now. :(

I felt the same way Jeff...since when is $10,000 not expensive?

(I know Jay meant compared to an N172 California League player).

In case anyone cares, Top center is a young George Stallings.

Another good reason to own that book.
