Cabinet card checklist?
Posted By: joe
Does such a thing exist? For example, are there any compilations of Jos. Hall cards, or Matthew Brady cabinets? In trying to collect all Buffalo/Rochester cards I thought I had a pretty good list, but I checked out JC Clarke's Web site — what a collection — and saw about 7 cabinets I'd never come across before. Does the hobby kind of find out about what actually exists when it turns up? It's a little discourging to try and collect these cabinets if there's potentially an infinite amount of them. Should I just give up on this goal? |

short answer: yes. I guess I was asking if there was any way to track what photos exist. For example, these guys had to keep records of who paid for what pics. Maybe there are bills, or ledgers that someone owns that may list what teams sat for photos? Just a question. Maybe a dumb one, but thought I'd ask anyway. |

that it would be next to impossible to establish a checklist for such a "set." I may be wrong but I would think that your best bet would be to consider your "set" complate until you find yet another one that you don't own. That's what I do with my e95 set sorry bad joke. BTW, I think Hal said it best by saying there is no such thing as a stupid question. |

Non-commercial baseball cabinets weren't issued like baseball cards, so it's difficult at best to establish a set. Due to the rarity, it likely would be near impossible to finish a set if it existed. If you decided you were going to complete the Carl Horner Cabinet Card set of T206 poses-- irrelevant to the cost, you would be purchasing a cabinet card about once or twice per year. The best bet is buy baseball cabinets that you like as they come up for sale or auction. If I were going for Horner set, I still wouldn't pass up on a nice Brady if it came up. You might end up having an assortment of styles and photographers and players instead of the set you were hoping for-- but that's fine. |

There's a Brady CDV of Harry Wright and his dad (Sam, I think). Don't know of others. |

Non-sport Brady photos, usually CDVs, can be found with some regularity and are often not expensive-- Civil War generals, etc. I've seen them on eBay. |

...but it would take a lot of work. A few of us discussed this at one point and considered taking the following approach: design a standard format spreadsheet for collecting data, then each person take a stack of auction catalogs and start transferring data to the spreadsheet. |
