19th Century Hall of Famers

[Archive]

Posted By: Phil Garry

I am currently working on a project of determining the earliest image appearance on a baseball collectible for every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame (Including appearances as part of a team item). For my purposes, I am including Cabinet Cards, CDV's, Trade Cards, Postcards, Catalogued Newspaper Supplements, Pinbacks, Team Issues, Catalogued Woodcuts (NY Clipper, Harper's Weekly), Catalogued Stamps as well as Traditional Baseball Cards. The only major collectible that I am not including is Photographs (Wire Photos, Press Photos, etc). I am starting my project with those individuals who made prominent contributions to the game during the 19th Century and are listed below. I would appreciate any feedback from the Net 54 experts as to the earliest image for each of these individuals. If any scans are available, that would be fantastic but just identifying the items would be great also. Here is the list:

Anson, Cap
Beckley, Jake
Brouthers, Dan
Bulkeley, Morgan
Burkett, Jesse
Cartwright, Alexander
Chadwick, Henry
Clarkson, John
Comiskey, Charles
Connor, Roger
Cummings, Candy
Davis, George
Delahanty, Ed
Duffy, Hugh
Ewing, Buck
Galvin, Pud
Grant, Frank
Griffith, Clark
Hamilton, Billy
Hanlon, Ned
Hulbert, William
Jennings, Hugh
Keefe, Tim
Keeler, Willie
