Great Cabinet of Cy Young. The other contenders for Cy Young Rookie are 2 Cabinet cards that depict Cy Young in his Clevland uniform both are estimated to be from the early 1890's. The Third is the Just So Tobacco card of Cy Young. Issued in 1893. My personal opinion is that the just so is Cy Young's rookie card. All 3 are incredibly scarce and deserve the attention they command. Just in case you think these images just cannot get any better in 2018 Heritage auctioned off a P&B Cy Young cabinet that was signed on the Front!!!. To be fair the image on the JH Ryder cabinets look to be a younger Cy than the 1893. But both JH Ryder Cabinets with him in uniform and the one in this auction look to me like they were from the same sitting.
