Yum Yum card errors: Tido's and Fido's

[Joe_G.]

Good thread Mark, there are other errors as well by A. Beck & Co. and SGC alike. This is not Lady Baldwin; doesn't look much like Mark "Fido" Baldwin either.



I suspect it is a member of the Chicago team but not sure who. Will start studying the clean-shaven members.

It is Flynn...

It's Jocko Flynn: (OK Rhett - you beat me by 1 minute )

Yes indeed, I didn't have a copy of that cabinet on my hard drive to reference. Do you know the photographer and date of photo? (just curious)

Thanks !

I'll email you a copy

Thanks Mark, so it looks like a majority of the photographic images used in the set originate from Stevens Studio (Chicago) and Joseph Wood (New York). I'm surprised how many of the 1886 Joseph Wood photos of the two New York Clubs (Giants & Mets) are found in the set. The Mets would disband before Yum Yums were issued but the 1886 "Spotted Ties" are abundant with the updated team present (based on where the players wound up).

Hope Richard doesn't mind the rampant sharing of his images, but this is cool . . .

Here is a closer look at the Joseph Wood photos found in the Yum Yum set. The Yum Yums may shed some light on what the N167 cards look like of Dorgan & Esterbrook (catalogued players but images couldn't be found for inclusion in our Old Judge book) as well as Deasley & Mutrie who may yet be found (known in woodcut form). I included two of the "Spotted Ties" for good measure as well.
