Always exciting to see a new find of OJs, congrats to Steve Hart at Baseball Card Exchange. Appears to be an original collection that was pulled together in 1886-1887 that has remained intact all these years. Unlike most finds and collections, this grouping does not have any later 1888 - 1890 OJs. Perhaps this early smoker/collector switched brands after 1887 or found the actress cards more appealing (but, in shame , didn't get handed down generation to generation).
