cabinet sets

Randall cabinets are another choice. Tough to come by.




Duke cabs, at only 4 in the set, can be completed. I personally think it would be easier to complete a T3 set than a Newsboy baseball set simply because I've seen complete T3 sets offered at auction but never a Newsboy set (14 subjects).



Rembrandt, Conly and Stevens cabs are tough to find but undervalued, IMO.



Chickering Beaneater cabinets appear to be one-of-a-kind so good luck completing that set! The cabs are imperial sized - 8 x 10.



N173s are probably the most popular and "common" 19th century cabinets but pricey.



Dogs Head are a subgroup of N173. Then there are the N173s with black mounts, which I have never been able to obtain. Most collectors are happy with a type collection of 19th century cabinets. Joe G. has chosen what may be the smartest approach by collecting Detroit players only. There are some collectors with large numbers of N173s. I wish I were one of them! All of the 19th century cabs are cool to me because of the large size, great photos, and the history they represent.
