That's what I was about to suggest. I would also say that, if you were ever inclined to move it to a new home, you could not find a new owner who would appreciate it more than Dan (if he doesn't have one already). The depth of his Nebraska baseball collection is incredible.

Thanks guys. I forgot about Dan's collection. If he has any photos, I'd love to see them.

Here is a copy of the first issue of Guy Green's Nebraska Indians book from 1900...I've never been able to locate another copy. Yours is a 4th edition I presume...I have never encountered a 2nd or 3rd edition. The 4th edition pops up a couple of times a year on ebay.



If I get time tonight I'll load up some photos of my collection.

Here's a cabinet photo of the team circa 1906...the player third from left in the back row is George "Chief" Johnson who played with the Cincinnati Reds before jumping to the Federal League.



He is listed as "Standing Bear" in the Sporting News Guide


Unfortunately because most of the players on the Nebraska Indians team went by names that Green probably gave them, identifying players on these teams is very difficult especially because he did not mention in his writings their real names.

Here is his 1916 Zeenut card.

Here's a shot of some of my Nebraska Indians collection.

This is the kind of ticket you got in 1907 and you had to wear it so it could be seen...too many people were sneaking into games costing the Indians money.
