Kilroy was issued 7 different poses in Goodwin & Company's Old Judge set, often referred to as N172 cards. The cards were first issued in 1888 and most were re-issued in 1889 with two of his poses being issued in 1890 when Matt jumped to Boston in the Players' League (these are tough variations to obtain). There is one rather strange error card from 1888 in which Kilroy is shown with Boston (National League team). Matt would play the entire 1888 season with the Baltimore Orioles.
You might want to reach out to Jay Miller as he may have a spare pose of Kilroy he could offer you. His email address can be found in the 19th century Buy/Sell/Trade area in a post near the top.
Good Luck!
