I have one other college CdV that pictures the Agallians of Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT circa 1868. This CdV is significant in that it shows the three bases as well as both the pitchers plate and home plate. This team is posted here.

Very nice Gary...I would guess those are in the "exotic" baseball category...How often do those surface?....looks like something you'd see in the booth of Terry and Nathan Knouse of Tik Tik & Nik....Are there any college team photo cdv's of football? Rowing?...

You'll laugh but, other than I knew they were some kind of photo, I didn't even know exactly what a CDV was until about four years ago when I bought the two below...my interest was that they were sports sculpture....I was disappointed they were so small, and not as big as a cabinet photos....a friend had to explain to me they were essentially "better" and earlier than cabinet photos...although I think the genera's overlap...As I recall I believe these came out of the Rucker collection and are in some book...which I don't think I've seen.
