Default just a thought about old photos

Was just wondering if there would be any interest into pre 1900 family photos of old ball players, not in uniform, not sports related, but just an individual photo of the ball player in his dress up for photo attire. I have not seen anyone post any of those type of photos. Many photos of that era were of just the individual and occasionally with family.
If there is anyone to have such photos, I am sure this would be the place. If we are collecting baseball history, wouldn't family photos of athletes also be included? High profile star like Ruth, any photo, including his family is all collectible. The players from the pre-1900s, especially around the 1860s and 70s are rare, so wouldn't any photo of the player be of interest?
