If you have a few minutes the little write up is fairly interesting; for those that like baseball history and nostalgia. I wouldn't mind seeing some other premium/business cards if anyone wants to show any? regards

I know you are not going to be super active -- but there are several committees you will enjoy (Black Sox, Deadball and 19th Century) -- all of which will add even more to your appreciation of these cards

Sutthoff played mostly for Cincinnati later in his career. That is where he opened the bar too (obviously). My guess is the uniform is from that city ALTHOUGH he did end his career in Philadelphia in 1905.

I would love to believe that but if I recall that is the "P" on a 1905 Phillies uniform that is peaking in the picture. If someone has a better picture or more information that it is not a Phillie...I would love to see it.

It can't be a Red's uniform. It very well can be a Phillies uniform.
