Dan P......re..1888 Goodwin Champions (N162)
The cover of my Goodwin Champions (A36) Album has an interesting inscription that is dated "1889". The Goodwin Champions (N162) set
is catalogued as an 1888 issue. When I acquired this Album many years ago, this inscription aroused my curiousity. So, were these cards actually issued in 1889 ? Yes, this may be anecdotal.....however, at least two factors suggest that this set must have been issued in 1889 (instead of 1888). Beecher was in the Yale Class of 1888 But, most significant is........ Fred Dunlap was traded to Pittsburgh on Nov 5, 1887. On his card he is identified as Pittsburgh's Captain (manager). Researching this, I find that he was a player / Manager with Pittsburgh in 1889. ![[linked image]](http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd339/tz1234zaz/A36cover.jpg) TED Z
