Three different Issues?
Doesn't this "set" consist of three different and distinct issues? The Browns were probably issued in 1887 following their 1886 championship. The two others are the generic poses (same pose for each position) and the non-generic poses (where the picture might actually look like the player). The latter two sets could have been printed in 1887 or 1888.
I am traveling and unable to check the backs in my collection, but do the different printers correspond to the different sets?
