Trio of 1888 Detroits
While I've completed all of the 1887 Detroit Old Judge poses, I'm far from having all the 1888s (and never will). Here are some recent pick-ups from three different sources covering all three different Goodwin & Co. types for 1888 (Fa, Fb, & G - for those that have read "The Book"). For Detroit, new players for 1888 were issued as Fb while some of the 1887 re-issues are Fa and others Fb. So the Rowe is a re-issue of an 1887 pose, Baldwin is all new, and the Ganzel cabinet was first issued as an N172 in 1887, but the cabinets debuted in 1888, the last year Detroit was in the league. For those with interest, I'll be posting another special pick-up that dates to 1888 on the Memorabilia forum.
