Default WTB - N172 1884 Providence Grays

I just finished reading the fabulous book called "Fifty Nine in 84'". Story of Charles Radbourn's incredible season with the Providence Grays.
One of the better baseball books I've ever read and the spark for my recent interest in Old Judge N172's.

I've decided that a fun way to subdivide my interest in the set and focus my efforts would be to collect players from the Championship 1884 Grays squad.

The Providence Grays ceased to exist after the 1885 season so all of the players still active in the Major Leagues in 1887 would be featured with other teams on any available Old Judge card .
I would be interested in buying or trading for any of the following:

1884 Providence Grays

C Barney Gilligan
1B Joe Start
2B Jack Farrell
SS Arthur Irwin
3B Jerry Denny
OF Paul Hines
OF Paul Radford
OF Cliff Carroll
C Sandy Nava
iF Charlie Bassett
UT Miah Murray
OF Cyclone Miller
OF John Cattanach

P Old Hoss Charles Radbourn
P Charlie Sweeney
P Ed Conley
P Harry Arundel

Mgr. Frank Bancroft

Not sure if all of these players actually have OJ's but will set about doing the research while I begin the search for cards.
I welcome your help.
