Not to hijack this thread, but can't some others be dated to 1869 based on the Peck and Snyder ad on the reverse and which Nassau St address is listed?

Gary---As long as it is not 126 Nassau. That would preclude it from being 1869. Also, a different address would make it pre-1871, not necessarily 1869.

Peck and Snyder moved to the 126 address on or about MAY 1, 1870. That being said the photos and/or cards could have actually been manufactured before that date but not distributed, or made, until then. It would be interesting to know the production process of the cards. When were the photos taken? Could the photos have been taken in 1868-1870 and used on the cards after that? The actual photos used for the cards are the same.

I believe the 22 Ann St address on Peck and Snyder CdVs represents the earliest issue.

The photo had to be taken in 1869 because the 1868 and 1870 teams had different players.
