Very happy to have these two, both with help from people here that called them to my attention or I'd never have seen them:

I am wildly happy to have this one. I also wildly overpaid, but was in "have to have it" mode. I think it is from 1890 based on image and uniform similarity to the 1890 Franklin Young Ladies Base Ball Club cab. This thing is in great shape. The gloss is almost perfect and the image is one of the clearest I have.

Really cool ring bats and a few compelling faces, plus maybe the youngest girl I've ever seen on one of these photos or PC's - check out the girl top row third from right - leaning on urn. Gah. She looks maybe 12-13? Tony Andrea pointed me in the direction of this one:

A really cool Alta Weiss I'd not seen before. I really like the photos and PC's with identified and famous (in that time) female players. Assist to Mark Perez for taking the time to point this one out:
