The back of the 1903 Yale picture is blank.

Interesting thread, Frank.

I have been checklisting these for some time and have identified 14 baseball-related plates. To help answer some of the questions, I have uploaded a Checklist and Gallery at http://www.oldcardboard.com/m/burr-m...ntosh-list.asp (Checklist) and at http://www.oldcardboard.com/m/burr-m...intosh-gal.asp (Gallery) to the Old Cardboard website. Will add a Profile page in the next week or so.

In all, Burr McIntosh published 86 issues in consecutive months from April 1903 thru May 1910. Those with baseball theme are only found in 1903, 1904 and one in 1905.

Paul C.--the 1904 Yale team image is in the gallery

Steve Murray--I have been unable to verify that the NY American team is from June 1904 but don't believe that it is. Could you please re-verify and let me know? Thanks.

I'll check it out when I get home Lyman.

Would also like to point out that while we here on this Forum are more interested in baseball there are a number of very nice football pictures of college teams and players as well.

Long ago, this was debated... Was Old Cy ever ID'd in this shot?

I remember. I think if anyone could have been Cy it would be the sixth player from the right. No one else is close.

I knew someone on here would know about these rascals. And Lyman, you are seriously to blame for me asking, I was about to put together an article for you. Now that you've quit outbidding me on these I've been able to pick up a few. So Lyman, what date / magazine issue do you suggest for the NY Americans?

Cornell.

A closeup of Cornell, showing Hall of Famer Hughie Jennings.

A closeup of the West Point photo, and I think this may be Douglas MacArthur.

New York Giants.

A closeup of Mr. McGraw's college boy pitcher.

The only image of a single baseball player, Hall of Famer Joe McGinnity.

The New York Americans.

A closeup of Cy Young, from The Champions.

Frank, my best guess is October or November 1904. The NY Americans image is labeled 1904 and has a 1904 copyright date on it. Unless I missed something, I've pretty much eliminated all other issues in 1904.

Call me at 512-231-9594 (or send your number and I will be happy to call you) to discuss an article about the Burr McIntosh baseball images.
