1869 Cincinnati CDV and Imperial Photograph...

Jay, that makes sense to me. The only changes from 1869 to 1870 on the Cincinnati team were substitutes. The 1869 games vs the Forest City team from Rockford were July 10, 24, 31 and August 2. (they also played a Forest City team from Cleveland,). I think it would be really neat to date them both to the 1870 tie game. (July 11) There is a photo of the 1870 team on the field taken on the field with the Forest City Cleveland team. (May 31) Rhodes describes this as the only known photo of the Red Stockings on the playing field. (apparently there was a series of photos that were believed to have been from opening day 1869, that now are believed to have taken much later.)

I own this circular photo disk, that I believe is #4 on Bruce's (bgar3's) list, above. Won in REA several years ago. It's slightly larger than a Colgan's; is made of cardboard, surrounded by a metallic ring; and has no visible sign of pin backing or how/what it was originally released or intended as. A bit of a mystery? Sorry about being late to this thread.

It is nice to know that is in a net 54 collection. With that better image, i will try to confirm the images are from the Huff photo. Unfortunately, I have no information on the origin etc. Thank you for posting it, would be happy to try to talk you out of it sometime.

They do appear to be head shots taken from the Huff/Peck and Snyder photo, redone as a composite. I forgot to say, very nice item.
