The Peck & Snyder Cincinnati team CDV is probably the best and most efficient way to get both at the same time. Period woodcuts are also an option with Harper’s Weekly Cincinnati team being by far the most common. George has an individual woodcut from New York Clipper.

Thx for the info - can you tell me what a CDV is? And also, what is a Woodcut? (I have seen the Peck and Snyder team cards - super cool, but I assume these are “not into lifetime” expensive or rarely available, right?)

FYI - I just bought a cool, original full Harpers newspaper on eBay from 1869 that has the Red Stockings team picture sketched in.

Will be a fun display piece in my HOF collection -
