Furthered by the fact that he did not move to the Washington Street address until 1905(however the images could have been produced from the original negative and mounted at a later date, I have seen many different mounts used for the same images) as these were offered for sale to the public at his various photography locations over the years. Also of note none of the Sporting Life Giants composites from 1904-1907 use the Mathewson image above.

The uniform worn by Mathewson and Wilson in the posted Horner cabinets, with NY on the sleeve in a style similar to the current Mets' logo, was worn by the Giants in 1909 and 1910.

Further evidence that the Mathewson Horner is certainly later than previously suggested..

Thanks!

Here's a link to where the full/mostly full composite with the Plank was sold before it was cut up. Still think it was a shame someone cut it up despite the condition.

I'm not so sure that was the one that was cut up. When I bought my Beville, there was a seller on eBay, their user name had something to do with Canada from what I remember, who somehow had access to dozens of these photos from all different teams. I remember I also purchased a Howell from the NY Cabinet that I later sold as a companion to my Beville.

There must have been multiples of the composites out in the world and this person either got one for themselves or acquired the photos already cut up. But I doubt very much they purchased that example because the auctions were vaguely titled and difficult to find.

Should also add that I say that because I do remember a Plank being on eBay. though I'm not sure it was the Plank in this thread.

This same seller had also somehow acquired dozens of baseballs from the Rube Walberg estate. I purchase mine from them around the same time I bought my Beville and Howell Horner cut outs from them. Many of these Walberg win baseballs have hit the market since. This was quite a while ago:

My one Horner cabinet. The dogbite used to bother me but not hardly at all anymore. Horner was brilliant.
