Default Oldest Baseball Card

Posted By: Jimmy Leiderman

The name of the photographer's studio owner was Andrew Jordan.
Not sure if he was a photographer, but he was the manager of Abraham Bogardus studio earlier.

It's not a 4 card "set"
There are some pose variations as well as some without the "match" imprint.
There is no data available that sugests that William Crossley or William Hammond played baseball before or after the "grand match" date. (Both were very good cricket players in their time)
Not sure about Sam Wright baseball activities and guess you already know the answer to this question about both Harry and George Wright.

Visit the NYPL digital collection for some images or ask Barry Sloate who had two "commons" for sale a while ago.


You can start from there...

Edited to add that the William Crossley CdV isn't in my collection anymore.
