I think that the black type trade card with the baseball player caricature on the back was issued after the ice skating example and before the red type card. The ornate font for "Red Stocking B. B. Club of Cincinnati" is exactly the same on both of the black type cards. The red type is much more plain.
Also, the 1870 Mutuals card that Peck & Snyder advertised in the 1871 New York Clipper has green type. This green obviously corresponds to the Mutuals' nickname - the "Green Stockings," which is also typed on the front of the card. Peck & Snyder appropriately used red type for the "Red Stocking B. B. Club of Cincinnati" and green type for "The Mutual (Green Stockings) B. B. Club of New York. I believe that these cards were issued in late 1870 and through at least 1871.
