Frank Bancroft is one. He was a manager only but he had at least one card, a T204 Ramly.

Love that cabinet Jay, neat experiment in baseball uniform history.

Deacon White was the oldest player in the League when his OJ card was issued in 1888, he was 17 years old at the close of the Civil War but did not serve. By the time baseball card production exploded in the late 1880s the Civil War Vets were aging well beyond their prime but many of those circa 1887-1889 players had fathers, uncles, etc. who did serve.

I was told that Doug Allison and Frank Bancroft have a 1879 NY Clipper Woodcut. Anyone have either of these to show ? Thanks

I do not have Allison’s 1879 Clipper woodcut, but I have several earlier ones with the Red Stockings.
Hope they come out.
