And here's a Betz Studio Cabinet of the 1894 Orioles team with Keeler, McGraw and Jennings amongst others. I've been after this card for years and haven't had any luck in finding one with a nice image, until two weeks ago in Hunt's auction. Somehow I turned on the live auction one lot too late and missed it. Incredibly, as I was leaving the show I spotted the very card on a table at nearly a 100% markup. The seller was kind enough to sell it to me for only a 40% markup (and I was genuinely thrilled to get it).

The pickups in this thread are amazing.

Jeff the seamless postcard is one of the most incredible pieces I've ever seen. What a pose. Your collection leaves one speechless.

Congrats!!!!
