1880s Goodwin & Co Team Prints

The font at the bottom looks modern, so I wouldn't guess they have much collectible value, but I don't recall seeing them before. And yes, the Foxx is a reprint. Without getting into detail, the "look" of the card is all wrong.

+1 Agreed.

No need to pile on, just wanted to state that I agree with the other assessments.

One of these prints appears to have sold way back in 2007 for $352.

In this hobby, that was a very long time ago when trying to analyze price. You have to factor in condition when considering value too. They claimed that example was from the 1930's and that very well might be in the ballpark. It looks like the frames from the two examples shown here are similar to the one that sold at auction. Any markings or labels on the back of the frame? That could be a clue.

Here is a little more info on the prints: https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...isplay-photos/

"Old Judge Team Composite Displays

Last on the list, there are large (over 27 x 18 inches) team composite display photographs using the Old Judge images. Each composite photo represents a team and contains numerous smaller Old Judge images of players from that team. Unlike the Vermont Find displays, the images are not individual photographic prints pasted to a backing, but part of the overall photographic image. Also, the surrounding background and borders are light colored and the team name and “in the 1880s” are on the bottom border.

Though no one knows for sure, it is commonly believed that these team displays date to 1926 and were used to mark the 50th anniversary of the National League. Even though made a number of years after the original N172 and N173 Old Judges, these composite photos are rare and fetch good money at auction."

The Foxx is a reprint, but those other prints are intriguing. If you find these at a flea market for $1, BUY THEM!

Good luck.

REA has sold several and feels comfortable calling them circa 1926. REA sold four in 2020 for between $300-$500 each. Those four looked to be in pretty decent condition.

Here is one for reference:

I own 8 different teams of these. I would love the superbas one if you decide to sell


Also some of mine have the names hand written under the photos, so i wonder if the same person wrote them
