Keith was able to share some clear scans of the cards, no photoshopping. The brightness and contrast are not quite right and the scans are cropped rather tightly, but the scans adequately capture the cards as I expected and hoped to see them. I've added the McDonald (not mine), to scale, for comparison. While the trimmed bottom on the new finds won't allow us to 100% confirm they are Goodwin & Co. issues it sure looks probable. Note that all the GQs on the scrap book page are trimmed on the bottom, not just the California League GQs. Neat cards, and thank you again Mr. Olbermann.
