KBRI see that Kalamazoo Bat individual player cards are usually dated to 1887. I also see where some people date the New York players to 1886.
It seems to me that the New York players were probably issued in both years. I am not sure about the Philadelphia players.
Dude Esterbrooke (Esterbrook) is pictured with the Mets, whom he joined in 1887. Larry Corcoran is also shown with the Giants, whom he only played in a few games with at the end of th 1885 season and the very beginning of the 1886 season before being dealt to Washington.
The Philadelphia cards have an 1887 copyright date on them while the New York cards do not.
Any thoughts?
