Tough to say Gary. 200-300 is a reasonable guess, but it's really hard to know. The majority, of course, feature unidentified ballplayers, so most collectors go after the ones that are the most aesthetically pleasing: great uniforms, both bats and balls present, long pants and long beards, etc. And the earlier the better.
And the one Gary pictured above, which he purchased from me via the Mark Rucker collection, is one of the earliest known.
