Default Barry Halper and the such...

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a database containing info on all of the known fake uniforms found in the Halper collection. I use Nash's website a lot, and it's been a HUGE help in that regard, but I was wondering what other resources there were out there in the land of the Interwebs.

For my own reference, I'm just trying to make notes on those fake uniforms so I don't absolutely rely on them for my paintings. Through some digging (and memory), I know that these aren't the real deal:

1880s Buck Ewing road jersey
1894 Wilbert Robinson home jersey
1905 Joe McGinnity road jersey
1905 John McGraw WS jersey
1914 Babe Ruth road jersey
1919 Joe Jackson WS road jersey
1951 Mickey Mantle road #6 jersey

Are there any that I'm missing? What about other 19th century ones (1888 Cap Anson, 1892 Delahanty, etc.)? And, is it possible that these were real jerseys from those teams, just not from the purported players?

Of course, this thread was in no way constructed to say anything bad about Halper or those who represented him and his collection, but I would like to be as historically accurate as possible when it comes to my own research material. Damn you, obsessions!

Anywho, any help you guys can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
