Thanks for the Nichols image. I am not certain where the larger cards came from. I assume that they were removed from the NCP 6 card portfolios. Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 12-07-2021 at 05:55 PM. |

Then NCP (or as you pointed out, maybe the Sporting News offered these, after obtaining the image rights?) also issued a full 50 portrait booklet of just the NCP series, which were all hole punched and bound, in the smaller size. That size was then maintained for the Sporting News inserts, which were then sequentially issued with some players deleted from the roster and more current ones added, and then some additional ones created to reach 62 in the Sporting News. Dropped were such old favorites as Anson, Hoy, Ewing, Keeler, Robinson…added were Delehanty, Young, Lajoie, and others. Just developing a working thesis…. |

I just found these ads that the National Copper Plate Co. placed in the April 9 and July 9, 1898 issues of The Sporting News. The ads specifically mention that they intended to issue 26 parts - each with six prints (I had thought 5). They state that they measure 10" x 12", so these are certainly the "large" versions that exist.
I have not been able to find any ads after July 9, 1898, so I assume that the National Copper Plate Co. stopped offering them on their own in and instead licensed them to The Sporting News who offered them both in portfolios of 50 and individually as supplements to their weekly newspaper, removing some subjects as time went by and adding others. The July 9 ad states that they have 6 different series available - the same amount as their June 4 ad, so I assume that their promotion lost steam and they stopped at just the 6 series even though they had planned on doing 26.

What a great thread. Wish that I could add something to it.

Would love to see any other six-player booklets of the stapled NCPs, beyond just the first two you shared.
Booklet Part 1 had Cap Anson, Chief Zimmer, Kid Nichols, Thomas Dowd, JM Goar, and Michael Griffin Booklet Part 2 had Bill Joyce, Joe Corbett (brother of HOF boxer James Corbett), Monte Cross, Bill Lange, Lou Criger, and Fred "Bones" Ely Would love to know if other "larger" NCPs without the holes (meaning pulled from these stapled booklets) can be documented, beyond the 12 players listed above from booklets 1 and 2. Does every Sporting Life Supplement and Sporting Life Portfolio of 50 that overlaps with the NCP oversized, stapled booklets have an 1898 date or NCP credit somewhere on the photo? That would be interesting...Could be a clue into which players were issued in the booklet format.
