Not sure if anyone has brought this up.....
but has anyone looked at the old judge scans on the Metropolitan Museum of Art website? There are spectacular high resolution scans of many cards including several HOFers.

1887 Detroits
So many nice cards in this thread, I wanted to contribute with a little Detroit flavor. The first post is dedicated to the 1887 issue, Detroit's World Championship season. The manager Watkins and eight players would be issued a total of 28 poses and I'm complete at 28 of 28. The following are some of my favored poses with one example of each subject matter that was issued a card.
The 1887 cards were photographed at Gray Studio with the stadium backdrop. I personally like the design of the 1887 cards with what my friend Bill Phippen calls the "Hot Dog style OJ advertisement".

1888 Detroits
1888, a year in which Goodwin & Co. would add several key Detroit players that were inexplicably missed in 1887 including two of my favorites; Lady Baldwin & Deacon White. These photos all originate from Fearnaught studio with a plain backdrop. It should be noted that many of the 1887 Detroit poses would also be re-issued in 1888 but I’m only showing the new for 1888 players.
1888 cards are much tougher than 1887 and I’m only 50% complete on the 30 Detroit poses. Among them is the only Detroit player I still need, Barney Gilligan. I look forward to the day that I can add Gilligan to complete a Detroit player run.

1889 Detroit
1889, NL Wolverines have now disbanded but professional baseball remains in Detroit thanks to the International Association. All the Detroit players are merely team change cards that were issued previously by Goodwin & Co. Detroit would take top honors in the IA in 1889. On a side note, the Kid Baldwin card is an error and should have never been issued with Detroit.
The 1889 cards are not as difficult as the 1888 issue but can pose a modest challenge. I still need a couple poses out of 14 possible to be complete.
