1898 Louisville Cabinet Card- Fred Clarke

[FirstYearCards]

Hi, I'm trying to veryify if this is the card I have pictured. I have been unable to find any info about this card(part of set, dimensions?) A previous thread by LOUCARDFAN ran into same problem with no solution, just wondering if anyone has new info. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. Bill.

I don't know for sure, but I do know that b-l auctions had a Fred / Pepper Clarke cabinet for sale a little over a year ago. I'm not positive but it looks like that's the same image. There was also a complete 1898 Louisville Cabinet in a recent Legendary auction. It was a complete team image, not just two players.

I hope this "somewhat" helps!!

Thanks for the info, anything helps. I've had this scan for awhile, but can't find my source for it. I am aware of the team pic(recently sold here), but wasn't aware of the B-L auction. Bill.

Bill:

The card pictured shows Fred Clarke and his brother when they player for Louisville in 1898. I don't understand what your question is? I don't think all of the 1898 Louisville players were produced as part of a set if that's what you mean. The dimensions are a typical cabinet card, I don't have the exact measurments handy but should be easy to come up with.

I think I see what you are talking about now, you took the 1898 Louisville Cabinet reference from MY post regarding the earliest baseball collectibles for Hall of Famers master list. When I took a look at your website, I also noticed your group of rookie cards duplicated the ones that I put together for Lyman Hardemann and his OldCardboard website page, although you expanded further than the five that we limited our info to.
