Default Grand Slams
Thanks for the responses, I'm having some fun with the scans and some of my other cards. I have a couple grand slams with this group (four variations of same pose)

For the Detroit OJ collector, the only way to hit a grand slam on poses would be to obtain the only two possibilities from 1887, N172 & N175, together with the only two possibilities from 1888, N172 & N173. While the 1887 N172 is easy (relatively speaking), the other three can be very difficult.

I grew up a Dodger fan in the 70's and 80's. My big four is slightly easier to obtain.

I don't think it's a small collecting feat at all.

A BIG Congrats on your completion of The BIG Four.

Goodwin & Co. issued cabinets for 14 different Detroit players and Manager in 1888. I also like to include Bennett, he wasn't issued a cabinet until 1889 w/ Boston, but the photo is dated to his time with Detroit. With Bennett I have 9 of 15 possibilities but one of them is Manager Watkins, so I need one more position player to field a nine.

The Met (Burdick collection) has the six cabinets I need, so between the two of us we are complete
