Joe_G.1887 Tomlinson Jimmy Manning Cabinet
As always, I’m interested in 19th Century Detroit items. As such, the Tomlinson cabinet of Manning mentioned above is of interest and has my attention but I’d like to point out a couple observations. While the seller has been very gracious to my inquiries and enjoys superb feedback, I’d like to clear up some discrepancies (or at least gray areas).
- Seller refers to Manning as a "World Champion Detroit Wolverine utility player" which, I guess, is a true statement. Another fact would be Manning was the teams worst performer with a 0.192 BA and .742 fielding percentage in 13 games (10LF, 3SS).
- Manning doesn't appear on the team composite "Champions of the League" cabinet.
- Perhaps most importantly, the Bennett Tomlinson mentioned on sellers eBay listing did not sell for “about $3500”. Just under $2850 is more accurate. The high premium realized for the Bennett card likely had something to do with Bennett being a HOF hopeful (arguably the best defensive catcher of the 19th Century) and the card being in better condition (no photo blemishes / chip). The other most recent Tomlinson cards sold on eBay realized far less, $360 for this very card last month (wish I noticed it then – item #6131302045) and a couple hundred for a Baldwin.
I realize some of this is minor and may backfire in my quest to obtain the card, but I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page (at least those interested in the card). Best of Luck.
