Alan, thank you for starting this thread, as I'm excited to see what fellow members have in their collections.
Jonathan, speaking of collections, your tintypes are incredible. Such a good group of quality, well cared for pieces!
With that being said, I've included the only tintype that resides in my personal collection. It's in rough shape, but the image is still fairly striking (at least in my opinion) - a solid pose inclusive of ring bat and what appears to be late-19th century uniform (1890s?). Given the condition, it's hard to discern (both via image and in person) what is exactly written across the player's jersey - any and all help would be greatly appreciated, as I would love to continue putting the pieces together as to who this might be/for whom he played.
Thanks again for sharing these pieces, and of course, happy collecting!
