Valuing an 1890 Football Cabinet Card
I know they really didn't have much in football cards back in the 1890s, but I ran across something interesting recently that i had to buy. It was an old cabinet card of a football player from the 1890s. From some research, I figured out it was Philip King, quarterback of the Princeton Tigers from 1890-1893. He ended up in the College Hall of Fame as a player. He also went on to coach at Wisconsin and won the first 2 Big Ten championships. Sounds like he was pretty good overall as a player and a coach.
Im not very familiar with values of cards like this (or if they even have a value) so I was hoping to get some help from here. I am much more familiar with the baseball side of this era. Any help on values would be greatly appreciated (not planning on selling it - just curious). Last edited by Gldwebs; 07-28-2016 at 09:33 PM. |

Honestly, that doesn't look like 'Phil King' from Princeton/Wisconsin. There are several photos of him available online to compare. Keep in mind I am horrible at identifying players in photos.
There is significant value in 19th century football cabinet photos. An individual photo of Phil King would sell for $750-1000, much more if signed. Mark |

I would have to agree with Mark. Doesn't look like Phil King to me either.
