[Baseball Rarities]

FWIW, there are cdv's that are marked "Sample Copy" on the reverse. These state that bulk quantities were available for $.75/dozen or $5.00/100.

These "Sample" copies have team's line up on the reverse along with an advertisement for Peck and Snyder. I assume that the bulk cards that were available had just Cincinnati's line up on the reverse and no advertsing.

I think that we can definitively date the cdv's with the line ups on the reverse to 1869 as the advertsiement of a third style clearly advertises the 1869 version of Chadwick's book.

I have added images of the three different backs that I mentioned above.
