1890-92 John H. Ryder Studio Cabinet Cy Young Rookie

WOW... Sorry, if I am outing it. Good luck to those with pockets.

Rookie Cy Young ...They have other items that will go for me but, what a clear and focused photo this is! And if you count cabinets as cards (they are cabinet "cards" after all) then it's his rookie. But I am sure other folks have their opinions too.

Guesses on where it lands?

ps..not my consignment, I wish.

It's nearly 300K with 22 days left. I think it easily tops 750K but I'm far from an expert.

Great Cabinet of Cy Young. The other contenders for Cy Young Rookie are 2 Cabinet cards that depict Cy Young in his Clevland uniform both are estimated to be from the early 1890's. The Third is the Just So Tobacco card of Cy Young. Issued in 1893. My personal opinion is that the just so is Cy Young's rookie card. All 3 are incredibly scarce and deserve the attention they command. Just in case you think these images just cannot get any better in 2018 Heritage auctioned off a P&B Cy Young cabinet that was signed on the Front!!!. To be fair the image on the JH Ryder cabinets look to be a younger Cy than the 1893. But both JH Ryder Cabinets with him in uniform and the one in this auction look to me like they were from the same sitting.

Certainly does

The same image is on his Cameo Pepsin pin.

Likely for a fraction of the price :D

You know better than I do, it's all about demand.
The Cameo Pepsin pin is awesome in it's own right.

My guess- 750k

Rhett, you taunt me with your profile picture. :)

Another cabinet which originated from Lew’s collection long ago. Unfortunately it has been lost for a long time and I hope one day it appears, as it grew legs and walked out of my house.

My guess is North of 750 on Young Cabinet up in auction.

Keep the eye candy rolling with all the early 1890s Youngs. This is the Cabinet in auction.

That is a sweet cabinet. Maybe it will turn up someday...

Thought I’d post both these together. Jay posted the 1891 (in another thread) and I own the 1892 one.

Those are truly awesome.

Why is this called a rookie? It is just a very nice cabinet photo of Cy Young. He isn't in uniform and it isn't part of a set. And even if he were in uniform, wouldn't it still just be a nice early photo of Cy Young in uniform given that it isn't part of a set or an item issued as anything other than a photo?
