super thrilled to have picked up another Perkins Studio Cabinet of an Orioles player. This one was recently sold as part of a three Cabinet lot in the most recent REA Auction. It was not pictured in the catalog or online...I'm glad I was able to get it the second time around via the most recent H&S Auction.
I was looking at images of Baltimore players from 1892 to about 1898. I am pretty sure this is Joe Corbett (brother of heavyweight boxing champ James Corbett) who played for the Orioles from 1896-97, including a stellar Temple Cup performance in 1896 against the Cleveland Spiders.
Anyone else think this is Corbett? The best photo I could find is the attached small image from SABR, which is from his 1898-99 National Copper Plate issue.
