Looks like this was from the same sheet as Rhotchkiss Menagerie Wagner
The upside down miss cut back and the wide bottom
Thoughts?

If so how cool is that

Bob, I do think all the Menageries are from the same sheet. Here are the two I own for comparison. If you ever feel like getting rid of the McGraw, I would be interested in it.

I used to have the color separation proofs for the 1975 Hostess George Brett (rookie year) card that was wasn't issued. Can't get rarer than a card that never existed.

Those are great Bob and DJ. We should get together and see if any match up

Some awesome cards from all. But for me, Michael's K-Bats cabinet was a treat. I followed that cabinet when auctioned a pair of times ~10-15 years ago. I was enjoying this thread on the sidelines but upon seeing the K-Bats cabinet opted to post in hopes of adding a little more Detroit love.

I believe the following to be unique Tomlinson cabinets of the 1886 team. The action poses are more common with multiple copies for each player (3-6 typical); but the portraits are tough, in some cases perhaps unique. Extra credit to anyone who can name these players (if you need help, the names are nearly legible on most of the cabinets).



The colored mount OJs are also pretty rare, some or most of the following could be unique.



I also enjoy collecting N333 Newsboys, many of which are believed to be unique, but I'll leave that for another time.
