Yes, I know that Ryder issued images of the 1891 Cleveland players. My question was what are the chances that Ryder would issue a set of cabinet cards for the entire Cleveland team, which, of course, included Young?

Did any other photographers or companies issue a set of cabinet cards for an 1891 team?

Ah, I see. I don't know the answer but I wouldn't be surprised if there were others.

At first or even second glance this cabinet looks like the familiar Bacon pose that appears in so many articles or references to Sam Thompson, but i believe it to be taken in 1890 when Thompson jumped to the Player's League (then jumped back, of course) and for that purpose.

When Terry first showed me this cabinet that came to him in a walk-in lot (I believe) of several Player's League cabinets, we could not identify it immediately as Sam Thompson, for it is only identified as "Thompson" on the front and "Malarial Thompson" on the back (an identification for which I take full credit and that I'm not sure if Terry has ever believed). He had it authenticated, and I eventually acquired it from him at a National in Chicago.
