N-167 Old Judge Proofs

[Archive]

*** said this about these proofs: They are (of course)
one-of-a-kinds, photo-proofs from which J. Wood, the photographer,
copied to
the N167s. He faxed me photos of two of the player cards, which
measure
approx. 4.25" X 6.50". There are 13 players.......the 12 listed in the
N167
set, and Deasley, who was on the 1886 NY Giants team register that
year, but
does not show up in SCDs player listing, for whatever reason. There is
also
a cabinet sized, approx. 4.5" X 5.5", card with the words "N.Y. Base
Ball
Club, 1886. Photos and copyright by J. Wood, 208 Bowery, N.Y." It
really
looks pretty nice! The 15th and final piece to the set is a 4.25" X
5.25"
proof of Mgr. Jim Mutrie.....again, not listed in the N167s. Mutrie
does,
however, show up in the 1888 (N173) Old Judge Cabinets
