Jim, there were several card sets issued in the late 1880s, some of which are fairly expensive, even for a card of a common player. But, you should be able to acquire a N172 Old Judge card of a common player with a decent photographic image for roughly $100-200. Here's a few images of cards from this era to whet your appetite. FYI, the cards I didn't show the backs of have blank backs.
