1887 Detroits
So many nice cards in this thread, I wanted to contribute with a little Detroit flavor. The first post is dedicated to the 1887 issue, Detroit's World Championship season. The manager Watkins and eight players would be issued a total of 28 poses and I'm complete at 28 of 28. The following are some of my favored poses with one example of each subject matter that was issued a card.
The 1887 cards were photographed at Gray Studio with the stadium backdrop. I personally like the design of the 1887 cards with what my friend Bill Phippen calls the "Hot Dog style OJ advertisement".
