The street clothes Anson pose is relatively common, first appearing in 1888 and appearing in all possible varieties (Fa, Fb, Fc, & Fc NL). This probably means very little to you if you haven't studied the set. If you have interest and are about to invest in OJs, I would recommend picking up the Old Judge book (many threads on how this can be done).

Most of the 1888 OJs of Anson (Fa & Fb) do not have the Script writing. The cabinets and all the 1889 (Fc) and 1890 (Fc NL) do. A card that is trimmed down to the photo will only be worth a fraction of a complete card. While a lower to mid grade example with a nice image may go for $5000, a heavily trimmed example may fall below $1000. REA and the other auction houses have sold many Anson cards over the years. Just search their websites (although most of them will be nicer graded examples).
