If the Creighton card has the Peck "& SNYDER" ad on the back then I think that would strongly place it post 1867. I would think the odds of it being in business at the same time as Andrew Peck & Co. would be extremely small considering that they were both at the same address. It would definitely be interesting to know the address associated with the ad on the Creighton card.

The 1867 Beadle's Guide has some examples listed for scoring purposes. They use Creighton as the pitcher. Obviously, even several years after his death he was still an important person in the base ball community. Probably, the first "Babe Ruth" of his time.
