Joe is correct. John Clarkson was sold to Boston in April 1888, so the N28 set was issued that year. If it were an 1887 issue, Clarkson would have been pictured wearing a Chicago uniform.

Okay, we're going to change our time travel plans a bit. We're going from 1888 to 2017. And we picked up two cards in 1888, so not all is lost.

If nothing was issued for a particular year, just say that and post a card from the next year in which something was issued.

What a cardboard time machine might look like.

1891 -1894 will be more difficult. Hopefully someone will throw in a Just So for 1893.....here is an 1895... the later 1890s and very early 1900s will also be a little problematic.
