I am looking for something affordable in 19th century baseball, saw these listed in the SCD catalog. Yet I've seen nothing of this issue show up on Ebay. Are they that rare? Any chance there's the complete book of 50 around?

The Anson that is on Ebay is a Cabinet card, not the National Copper Plate. National Copper Plates are quite scarce. They are rarely offered for sale.

Andy, if you have one, can post a scan? If not anyone else out there.

Thanks Joe

The Tobin Lithographs aren't overly expensive and are nice cards featuring star players.




The 1890s Spalding Die Cuts are sharp and not too expensive. You could finish the set, as there are only 4-5 different cards: baseball, football, golf, bicycling, maybe one more I'm not sure.

What if any are the differences between the m101-1 and the 1898 copperplate other than the names? Is it basically the same set?

The National Copperplates are slightly larger than the Sporting News premiums. Also, I don't believe the checklist is entirely the same. Buck Ewing is in the National Copperplate set but I don't believe he made the cut in the Sporting News set.

Unless I'm mistaken (which of course is possible), National Copper Plate made the premiums for The Sporting News, then issued their own version.
