Goodwin & Co. gave us the "Brown's Champions 1886" in 1887 after they defeated Chicago. They issued both Old Judge and Gypsy Queen Brown's Champs portraits. It would have been nice if they did the same for the 1887 champion Detroit team. Here is a fantasy card I pulled together a couple years ago. This could have been, should have been, a late 1887 addition to the set.
