1902-11 Sporting Life Cabinets

Thanks Jerry. Here is my W600 McGraw. It is the same pose as the one you posted, but lists McGraw as manager. I can see that the mount is different, so I assume it is not a 1902.

Hi Jerry......really great stuff.

I noticed this in the write up......
" Christopher Mathewson New York NL has both a suit and uniform cabinets with his last name misspelled: Matthewson. "

Here's my Matty....is this correct spelling the more often seen card, or is the "double -T" version more often seen ?

The correct spelling is easier to find. The incorrect spelling Matthewson is on an earlier mount

Nice Gibson Cabinet.

Craig - are you putting for sale sign on your cabinet?

Then came John in a new suit:

The first SLC design format type of 1902 was superseded after only a couple of months of production. Why? The font was changed on the second format but the 1902 "Compliments of" remained. This new format survived for a few months then the "Compliments of" was weeded. This lasted for - right - a few more months. Then she was fired.
The next format was introduced in late 1903 - early 1904. This new embossed format was used for the remainder of the run.

W600 market has always been flat. Relatively low population.
