Preece1I didn't post this earlier because it took me a while to make the scans. I picked up this set of 14 1886 J. Wood NY Cabinets at the National. I believe this complete set is the only one of its kind. The group has 6 Hall of Famers (Ewing, Welch, Keefe, O'Rourke, Ward, and Connor) and I believe that these were the photos from which the N167 Old Judge cards took their images (On the back of the N167 cards, they mention that they took their image from the J. Wood photographs). Many have seen the Wood cabinet composite (if you have not seen one, Hal Lewis has one on his website), but those pictures have players with hats, and the few N167 cards I have seen do not. So I believe that these were the photos used. If anyone has any more information on these cabinets, please let me know.
