Checklist of 1869-70 Cincinnati Red Stockings images

And there we have it.

Bruce, thank you for the follow up. The fact that you found this nugget is really amazing.

So I'm not a Cincinnati guy but I own a Peck & Snyder and certainly enjoy research - I'm also interested in figuring out when the sporting good store began using the image on their trade card. I don't know if this has been discussed.

I know P&S also had trade cards with other teams - and that the years may drift into 1870 and 1871. I apologize, I don't have my ducks in a row for this post. But it would be interesting to find the earliest date of that print ad where one could order the card(s) in quantities.

But that is just for the one use of the image you initially posted about. May i ask, are there any other outstanding questions that YOU have Bruce about the images?

Thank you again for the follow up!

Peter, glad you found it interesting also. I think one question I have is not about the team images, but whether or not there are individual images of the Cincinnati players in uniform? I know of two, but there has to be more.

I came across this recently Bruce...

Does that answer your question? Is that what you wondering Bruce? Hope so.

Sorry Peter, but no. They are the Boston Red Stockings, not the 1869-70 Cincinnati Red Stockings. I actually once owned the Harry and George Wright from that group, but unsigned.

Ahahahaha. I got confused seeing Harry Wright. And also by not looking closely at the title. And by overall missing that important fact.

And your search for the 1869-70 Red Stockings continue.

Side note - you once owned Harry and George Wright from that group? That is very cool.
