Do you have more history of these items?
Can you send a scan of a complete negative with all its borders and not enhanced by light?
What are the sizes of the glass plates?
I am curious because knowing how these images (the negatives) and the baseball cards were produced it would be highly unlikely that a hoard of various teams (from completely different photographers) would have ever been in one place at one time. Goodwin and company would have probably never been in possession of the negatives and only bought images from the individual photographers in developed form and then used these images to make their cards and as such would have their own negatives. The individual photographers would have remained in possession of their negatives. Since you appear to have several teams represented from several different photographers I am curious how these would have been assembled.
Can you post a scan or two of the negatives in raw form (how they appear to the naked eye) with some sizes of the plates?
