Great item. Baseball players had such formal looking outfits 160 years ago. Being a collector that is focused on cards, my oldest baseball item is from the much more typical late 1880's time frame, but still a toughie...a trimmed down 1887 N175 Gypsy Queen of Roger Conner.

Per Wikipedia, "The Washington Nationals of 1884 were a short-lived baseball team in the American Association. They won 12 games and lost 51. Their home games were played at Athletic Park in Washington, D.C. They were also known as the Washington Statesmen. The Nationals were managed for all but one game by former player Holly Hollingshead. John Bickerton managed their final game on August 2, 1884, a loss to the New York Metropolitans" by the score of 6 - 5. "This team should not be confused with the other 1884 Washington Nationals franchise, a different team which played in the Union Association during its only year of operation."
The oldest items in my collection are this 1884 season schedule for the Washington Nationals/Statesmen of the American Association and this scored scorecard for Washington's final game on August 2, 1884, before the team disbanded. What I think is especially neat is that both of these items have penciled, period notations regarding the team disbanding after this game (see the right edge of the scorecard), which leads me to suspect that both items originally belonged to the same person/family.

I have some newspapers with box scores from the early 1860s, but my first collectible with any baseball images is the Jim Creighton memorial woodcut from 1865.

I've got some A&Gs that are a couple years older, but this one is much more interesting. Baseball was introduced to Japan in the 1870s, and this postcard is from 1891. It pre-dates any known Japanese baseball card and (as far as I know) any other baseball-themed postcard. There are earlier books that have woodblock prints of baseball games, but this is among the earliest Japanese baseball images.

The board id'ed this one as Tommy Bond from the late 70's. It has CW Jeffrey written on the back, which may have been the photographer.
Arslonga made an art card from this cabinet. I don't know if they made it from the one I have, or if there are other cabs out there like this one. Arslonga says they have released/sold 7 of their Bond cards. I don't have one, but would like to own one.
