Although multiple cabinets probably were made or could have been if desired, most players have only one it seems. Once in a great while you will find two of the same player. This pertains to images on original mounts.

There are multiples of some of the more prominent players of day in photo only format, which were likely used by newspapers and other sports publications of the day in their print materials. That being said, some of the current day photographs that are offered, are ones that show evidence of being pulled from their mounts.

Thanks, here's another Detroit player, a little more unknown...

Horner cabinets are probably the most underrated collectible in the hobby, IMO. They suffer from a lack of having an ACC number and that probably keeps their price down. When you have them in hand, they are absolutely gorgeous!

Totally agree. Horner’s cabinets are absolutely memorizing. I like the sets that utilize his portraits too, but nothing beats the clarity of Horner’s originals.

Another beauty. You have me stumped on who this guy is.

Kid Speer, he only played in the Majors in 1909. Pitched in 12 games with a 4-4 record.
