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

Nice! I love your collecting focus and dedication.

As we all know the hunt is a lot of the fun. Only 6 more needed? That should be a piece of cake? You probably need just about a half more of a lifetime.
