Hello guys. I had asked a couple different folks who I'd consider to have about as much knowledge as possible in this hobby and whom have seen about everything there is to see and still haven't been able to acquire too much info on this item.
What I know -
Not a "cabinet" size you might associate with many of these team portrait cards. It's only about 5 1/2" by 5 1/4" or so when opened.
The photography was done by Gardner and Co, out of Brooklyn and it was printed by F. Collyer.
Below is the subjects on the portraits. My thought right now is it may have been handed out at the first game of the season...(based on Doc Casey being featured, when he only played one game in 1900).
Cather - J.T. (Deacon) Mcguire
Outfielder - J.J. (Joe) Kelley HOF
Outfielder - J.T. (Jimmy) Sheckard
Outfielder - W.H. (Willie) Keeler HOF
Outfielder - F.A. (Fielder) Jones
Third Base - L.N. (Lave) Cross
Pitcher - J.H. (Jerry) Nops
Pitcher - W. (Brickyard) Kennedy
Pitcher - F.R. (Frank) Kitson
Catcher - C.A. (Duke) Farrell
First Base - Hughie Jennings HOF
Shortstop - W.F. (Bill) Dahlen
Second Base - E. (Gene) DeMontreville
Second Base - T.P. (Tom) Daly
Third Base - J.R. (Doc) Casey
Pitcher - J. (Jack) Dunn
Pitcher - H. (Harry) Howell
Pitcher - J. (Joe) McGinnity HOF
Manager - E. (Ned) Hanlon HOF
President - C.H. (Charles) Ebbets
Would love to hear if anyone has seen these before, has one or has any info on them. If you have seen them in what condition? I wish the front of this one wasn't messed up from being in a scrapbook but that's the case, ow does it affect the value on these types of schedule cards?
Thanks for any help or info.
P.S. - my scan with the players' portraits didn't quite come out right color wise...it's actually closer in tone to the back scan...but I didn't want to fudge with the image.
