Very nice find with some clues that this might be an original collection from 1889 (player/team combos and Dogs Head mounts date many to 1889). The collector seems to have liked Boston & Chicago with a weak spot for the NY mascot and a couple St. Louis players.
Best of luck with them and thanks for the early preview!
