Need some help with a 19th century baseball cabinet

Adam,

The dimension of the cabinet will make quite a difference to the price! If the standard imperial size of 7x10 then probably about $500-700 but if it is a larger size like a mammoth cabinet then you are looking like $1200 (17x17 +).

For your comparison, I recently sold a standard sized circa 1878 cabinet of the Greys Baseball Club displaying an early workmen’s glove for $312 on E-bay (smaller than yours)

and a year ago I sold a near mammoth size cabinet of the 1873 Osceola Team featuring the 1st image of HOFer O’Rourke at REA for about $2000 but I thought that cheap even at the time.
