I picked up this cabinet the other day of Jimmy McAleer.
mcaleercab163.jpgmcaleercabb164.jpg McAleer started in centerfield for the 1893 Cleveland Spiders. Here is the roster from baseball-reference C- O'Connor C- Zimmer (2nd catcher) 1b- Virtue 2b- Childs ss- McKean 3b- McGarr Inf-C- Tebeau (more AB than McGarr) CF- McAleer OF- Ewing OF- Burkett P- Young P- Clarkson P- Cuppy P- Hastings P Davies (only shown as appearing in 3 games) C- Boyd (2 games) Here is the Just So checklist from oldcardboard.com Boyd Burkette sic Childs Clarkson O'Connor Cuppy Ewing Davies Hastings McKean Tebeau Virtue Williams Young Zimmer All of these players have been found on the Just So Tobacco cards except for McGarr and McAleer. I believe both of the players could be found in the series. If a Just So Tobacco card of McAleer ever surfaces I would expect it to have the same photo as the cabinet pictured above. Here are a few Just So Cards... www.oldcardboard.com/n/just-so/just-so.jpg http://www.19thcenturycards.net/imag...soclarkson.jpg

Great piece, and I bet you're right about it being the same photo.

Super clear image. Can we assume that this was the photographer who was used to supply the images for the Just So set?

Thank y'all for the comments. I had this on my bidder card at Heritage, but did not think I would get it. They referenced Just So in their description.
Barry, the Pifer and Becker cabinet photo of McAleer looks very similar to the photography on the Just So cards, so that is my guess that they did the photos for the Just So series. I have not been able to find much information on Pifer and Becker other than they appear to have been a typical 19th cent studio located in Cleveland. Here is another family-portrait type photo I found on the web... www.etsy.com/listing/115899902

Great work Rob. Hopefully the Just So McAleer will turn up to confirm your hypothesis.

Jim and Jay, thanks.
Because Geo. Davies and Frank Boyd have been found in the Just So card series, it seems possible that these other part-time players could turn up... Joe Gunson Ed McFarland Tom Williams Billy Alvord Jim Gilman John Stafford Pete Allen Chauncey Fisher Jack Scheible Although it would be fun for the McAleer Just So to turn up, the math may be on the side of one of these other players' card to surface. It would also be nice to see a Pifer and Becker cabinet appear with one of the known Just So cards' image.

Nice cabinet. McAleer will surface in the set, although I've been saying that for twenty years. Unless he had some personal reason to pass on inclusion--he definitely was his own man and headstrong--there's no way the team set would not include their flashy CFer. Nice to see what his Just So card could/would/should look like.
