Thanks, Barry, for the response. My feeling is that the later cards would be part of a different set - 1888 or 1889 sets. But the 88 and 89 cards that share the same poses with the 1887's should be assigned the same number that exists for the 87's to avoid confusion.

If there are cards that were never given numbers (i.e. the 1887 spotted ties), then they could be assigned numbers after the numbers from the 87 set come to an end. I do realize that it is currently being done alphabetically.
