1872 Warren CDVs of Boston players - what did original composite look like?

There should also be a thread from when it was originally on ebay. I was the underbidder (Barry beat me out) and I am still kicking myself for not going higher but 12K was all the money I had in the world in about 2006.

Rhys- my snipe was at least 25K, so you had a long way to go.

I thought it was a fantastic find and saved the images as follows (without and with matte). I had hoped that the collection would stay together but it wasn't to be.

Thanks Joe. I don't even have an image saved of the original piece. One of these days I'll make it into the 21st century.

Thank you for the information Barry and Matt, and especially Joe G. for posting those images. It's unfortunate that the original composite has been dismantled.

I'd like to see if we can complete a virtual set of the 11 CDVs from this composite since the CDVs from the auction photo are blurry.

I posted Andy Leonard and Fraley Rogers in the initial post. The other 3 CDVs from Heritage are below, which include Harry Wright, George Wright, and Albert Spalding. I found Harry Schaefer's CDV on rea and posted it below. That leaves 5 more players from this one-of-a-kind composite.

If you can post a good resolution photo of any of the remaining 5 CDVs, please do so. At least the 11 CDVs will remain "virtually" together on this website.

I'm "guilty" of owning the Ryan, here is a scan of it:

Johnny Ryan is the curiosity of the group as there is no record of him ever playing for Boston.
