Hoy was introduced to OJ set in 1888 on what is referred to as a type Fa card. Many Fa cards errantly show an 1887 copyright such as the provided examples in this thread. WG1 is also an 1888 card issue but suspect Fa OJs were first as they began issue before start of season and had some players assigned to incorrect teams based on preseason rumors . . . such as Hanlon with Boston.
Goodwin would re-issue Hoy in 1889 as a type Fc card (word "Factory" shows up at bottom of card),
