This could be the 1885 Western League team with Bill Watkins, manager, in the middle.

Hats don't match 1889 Indy Old Judge Images. I don't see Rusie either.

Good call - I definitely see that. It's hard to decipher age in these photos and Watkins would be 26 in the cabinet card. At first I assumed it was an older man.

What's the latest date that this might be, given the uniforms? Clark appeared to be an active studio into the 1890's at least.

Rob might be onto something here. I see the resemblance with Watkins.

I've tried to find some other players and identify them and have names on three players - but they are shots in the dark--- but figured I'd throw it out there. Here is the roster (going with the 1885 theory): Dan Casey, Chub Collins, Sam Crane, Jim Donnelly, Jim Keenan, Deacon McGuire, Larry McKeon, Mox McQuery, Cyclone Miller, Gene Moriarty, Miah Murray, Tom Poorman, Sam Thompson (HOF)

If I were you, I'd be happy that I missed out on this one. Cool photo, but not that valuable.

Sometimes great deals on the front end, or even good deals, don't turn out how they are supposed to. Been there, done that, on more than one occasion.

I've been down that path before. If I could have confirmed that Rusie was in this photo, I would have bid a higher price than it sold for & still wouldn't be sure that I got a great/good deal.

I don't think I see Sam Thompson in that photo and he joined the team in 1885. Watkins was manager in 1884-1885 so it could be a 1884 photo.
