Default 1st November Pickup Thread?

Congrats Joe on another Wolverine. How many more for a complete Detroit subset? I don't mind lower grades when the images are strong.

Bruce Kasarda helped me as well with the fifth and final pose I needed of Billy Shindle. Shindle is rated as top 100 3rd baseman by Bill James (95th) largely for his defensive skills for which there may not be a 19th century equal (tough to prove). Shindle began his career with Detroit as a back-up to Deacon White including 22 games in 1887. His connection to the World Championship team is the reason I began collecting him.



1888 examples of all five poses (was also issued cards in 1889 & 1890).

Best Regards,
Joe Gonsowski
