1888 Detroits
1888, a year in which Goodwin & Co. would add several key Detroit players that were inexplicably missed in 1887 including two of my favorites; Lady Baldwin & Deacon White. These photos all originate from Fearnaught studio with a plain backdrop. It should be noted that many of the 1887 Detroit poses would also be re-issued in 1888 but I’m only showing the new for 1888 players.
1888 cards are much tougher than 1887 and I’m only 50% complete on the 30 Detroit poses. Among them is the only Detroit player I still need, Barney Gilligan. I look forward to the day that I can add Gilligan to complete a Detroit player run.
