I would definitely think so. Jay has it on his list. It is the Ryder cabinet.

I should have been more specific

Would the 1893 Pifer and Becker make the list?

I actually prefer it to the Ryder, astatically speaking, though both are beautiful.

That is a beauty. I love these 1880s-90s cabinets.

I grabbed these images from the internet. They are the 1891 Ryder and the 1893 Pifer & Becker Cy Young cabinets from his days with the Cleveland Spiders.

Are the Cy Young cabinets more valuable than the 1890 Just So. Or is that a card so excluded from this list? I agree on the 1871 Forest city image. Anson the big reason and that not a monetary but historical significance that Forest City played in the opening day game of the National Association in 1871 launching the first professional Baseball League.
Discussed many times here on Net54 are the period Woodcuts that depict many of these same players and teams for a tiny fraction of the price. A shame that a cabinet of the 1874 Boston team or better yet this image of the 1866 Arhletic of Philadelphia vs Atlantic of Brooklyn has yet to come to market as a photo.
