This looks exactly like page 116 of my Baseball book by Patten and McSpadden. Exactly, but for that vertical crease a third of the way over from the left margin. |

You didn't provide the link, but even without seeing it I bet you are right. It's a high quality plate, so it must have been removed from the book. |

It does look like the plate from the book, unless it was also issued in another form. |

Well if it ever was issued another way, seems to me someone on here would be aware of it. I'm not aware of anything other than the page in the book. The page size is consistent with the auction item. |

This may be my one stupid question of the day but if it's in a book where did it originate? |

I would guess the New Orleans Pelicans posed for a team photo, as most teams would. Of course, Jackson was unknown at that time, so my question is why was that photo deemed important enough to make the book? |

I don't have the Colliers book so I can only speculate as to why the Pelicans were included in the book, but Jackson wasn't completely unknown in 1910 as he had led the Carolina league in batting in 1908 his first year of organized professional baseball and was picked up by Connie Mack....getting picked up by Mack at that time would have brought some notoriety...of course he fled back to his home-state because he was homesick...and the next season was among the league leaders in batting in the Sally league...In 1910 Jackson was brought up at the end of the season and tore it up in Cleveland...depending on when the editors of the book decided to put the Pelicans team photo in the book he may have been pretty well known. |

If that is the case, and you make a fair point, then the photo was included only because of Jackson, and the fact it is the Pelicans is significantly less important. |

I don't know Barry as I don't have the book and I don't know the context of its inclusion. I just wanted to point out that in baseball circles (and that would have included the authors of the book) that Jackson was a known quantity in 1910. |

I have a friend who has one of the known cabinets with the same exact image. It was probably then reproduced in several formats. |

Thanks Frank. That book has always been one of those items that I keep saying "I'm going to grab one of those one of these days". They pop up pretty regularly on ebay and in the auctionhouse auctions - I probably should get on that before too much time has passed and I'll be saying "why didn't I get that when I should have???" |

The board covers always come beat up. Had to do with the size of the book and the quality of the materials. |

Would have been great if they'd put out a second book the following year, and the one after that... still, this one, right when it came out, is fantastic. Maybe I should just be thankful they did one book. |
