Gorgeous set, I only have a handful. Keep intending to start a set ignoring the baseball players that cost an arm and a leg. Always wondered why this got labelled an 1887 and every Grader ran with that. They cannot possibly be an 1887 issue; Clarkson was sold to Boston in April 1888 (for less than the cost of a Mint copy of his Ginter card), the team whose uniform he is wearing on his N28. It must be a mid-1888 issue at the absolute earliest.
