Hi Joe

Thanks for the compliment.

Many years ago, I did see a couple more of these 1871 Photo/Scorecards; but, I don't recall which Troy players were on them.


Take care,

Just incredible.

Thanks Graig

And, what is also incredible is your artwork.

The panoramic of Mickey Mantle at bat at Yankee Stadium brings back fond memories of when I was a kid seeing him hit a tremendous HR.

Great items, Ted
I have special interest as my mother is from Troy, New York
I was able to purchase this Team Composite from Deacon White's estate several years ago. Sorry for the low resolution scan
It's quite large and present much better
Bottom left is the team's manager and first Jewish player, Lipman Pike a distant relative

It's amazing that things are actually the same 145 years later – ADVETISING !!!!!!!!!!!

No different than the Bud Light ads in today's score cards, really.

I would even bet they had the card printed for free, or major discount, by letting Printer ad on front page (just as they do today).

The Beaneaters/Quakers is also great. BUT, a half a page void of ads is unacceptable !!!!

Your Troy Haymakers team piece is really cool. I recognize the photos of Flynn, McMullin, and York on it.

And, you identified Pike....could you also please identify the other 6 players.

Thanks,

This is important to me, so I will reiterate......

You have identified Pike on your Troy Haymakers team piece.....and, I recognize the photos of Flynn, McMullin, and York on it.

Could you also please identify the other 6 players.


Thanks much,
