Paul C.:
Upon further research, the Joseph Hall Cabinet that you mentioned can be definitively attributed to an issue date of 1888-89 so therefore we are adjusting our database accordingly. Although the most commonly catalogued date of issue for the individual player - Kalamazoo Bats cards is 1887, based on extensive research of in-season traders/team changes that took place during the 1886 season, it appears that the 1886 date is in fact the accurate one, assuming that this set was not produced over two or more seasons (highly unlikely).
