1890-91 Long John Ewing Cabinet SGC 40
$975 shipped.
Buck Ewing's brother, this Rembrandt Studios cabinet is beautiful, but is marked down for slight paper loss or surface abrasions on the blank back. When I won this auction from Heritage, their description pegged it at 1891 because that was the only year John pitched for the Giants. However, he also pitched for New York in the ill-fated Player's League during its lone season of 1890. I have not been able to locate any photos showing either of those New York teams wearing the distinctive laced-up jersey, so I can't say either way. Poor John passed at age 31 in 1895, so there is not a lot of collectible material of him.
