Default Goodwin Album....N162.... Actually 1889 ?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

The cover of my A36 Album has an interesting inscription
that is dated "1889". The Goodwin Champions (N162) set is
catalogued as an 1888 issue. When I acquired this Album
about 8 years ago, this inscription aroused my curiousity
....were these card actually issued in 1889 ?

At least two factors suggest that this set must have been
issued in 1889 (instead of 1888).

Beecher was in the Yale Class of 1888

Dunlap was traded to Pittsburgh in 1888.
