hankronI pretty much agree with Elliot.
There is also another notable cabinet set. Circa 1905 B.J. Falk Cabinets of the New York Giants. Includes Mathewson, McGraw, McGinnity, etc all in street clothes. They have dark brown/maroonish mounts, with brown tinted images and Falk's name on the bottom. The problem is that a large percentage have the bottom portion of the mount (including Falk's name) trimmed off. Still. they are distinctive and easy to identify. Don't know where to put them on the top ten list, but they're tough. Falk was a well known New York photographer, specializing in theatre actors, and photographed many of the personalities for the 1890s Newsboy tobacco cabinets.
