A little more on question #2. As you are likely aware, the N173 checklists (1888 & 1889) list players from National League, American Association, and the Western Association. While most of the players found on the N.L. lists are currently catalogued as having cabinets, the American Association is slightly less and Western Association examples being far fewer. Teams like the Chicago Maroons that disbanded in 1888 are next to impossible to find (I think there is only one Maroon cabinet existant even though 17 players are listed on checklist).
