Old Judge Poll

[Joe_G.]

Indianapolis would be an interesting team to collect with numerous cards issued in 1887, 1888, and 1889 with the following break-down:

1887 (all "0" numbered cards) - team finished 8th (last)
13 players accounting for 35 poses

1888 (mostly type Fb cards) - team finished 7th
15 players accounting for 45 poses (mostly re-issued 1887 cards)

1889 - team finished 7th
18 players accounting for 48 poses (mostly re-issued 1887 & 1888 cards)

If you are serious about collecting a team set, I can pull a complete list together for you. By far, the most notable player would be HOFer Amos Rusie who was introduced to the set in 1889 with 5 poses. Other notables include Corcoran (a board member hoards these), Jerry Denny, and Pebbly Jack Glasscock to name a few.
