Hi everyone,
I saw this auction on eBay and watched it to its conclusion. It sold for over $900. I do not believe that this person was on the 1890 Chicago Pirates of the Players League. I looked at several known cabinets of the 1890 team and could not match him up to anyone featured on the known cabinets. Can anyone ID this cabinet as a player on the 1890 team?

Known 1890 cabinets:
1890 Chicago team photo. I know it says White Stocking but that has to be a mistake as Silver King is pictured and only played for the Chicago Pirates in 1890 and never played for another Chicago team, therefore this must be a photo of the 1890 Pirates. He is pictured in this photo to the left of Jimmy Ryan who also played for the 1890 Pirates. Comiskey's photo (top center) in the cabinet is the same portrait featured on his confirmed 1890 Players League cabinet.
