Hi Rob,
I got the other cabinet card. I am very excited, too, to add it to my collection.
Thanks for doing all the great research.

I always forget that the era of 'modern' basketball starts a lot later than the era of 'modern' baseball or football or boxing. I was really surprised when I saw this card from the 1925 Exhibit Champions set that it was a HS team:

Adam,

This is one of the Passaic High School wonder teams coached by Basketball Hall of Famer Ernest Blood. He coached them from 1915-24 with a 200-1 record and a 159 game winning streak. The person on the left looks a little like Bill Mokray, Basketball Hall of Famer who attended Passaic H.S. and would have been a junior or senior. He was the first great basketball statistician.

Wow. Interesting. Sounds like they should have also made a card for that one team that beat them!

The team that beat them cheated--they spread sawdust on the floor to prevent the Passaic team from going full speed.

I located an email address for the author of a book on the Passaic teams and dropped him a line to see if he can ID any of the people on the card.

Love the early basketball items! My earliest are a Harvard program and team picture from 1908, from the estate of the coach Grebenstein.

I think he was a coach. He is in a photo I saw of the Passaic team from 1921 too, in a suit.
