The Lipset Chickering photos aren't cabinets (wrong size), and they aren't trading cards (I know some registry member somewhere is saying, "Does that count as So-and-So's Rookie Card? And, if so, will it fit in a PSA holder? And, if so, will that ding to the corner give it a 5 or a 6?"). They are very rare to unique. Chickering was and is a well known photgrapher of the day, including in non-sport areas-- though his photographs, in general, are not as rare as Carl Horner's and Joseph Hall's. In my opinion, a number of these Chickering photos in the Lipset auction are Grade A, and the potential bidder will wait a long time to find a better example of a photo of the player in 1899.
