Jay, thanks for sharing the Milwaukee information and the rare Straus/Struck card.

Rob, nice Donnelly despite the condition. Your Deasley is actually an Fa, but much like my comment on the Fb-script, it appears to be a late 1888 issue as you can see the script behind the name-plate much like many of the 1889 Fc cards. The negative had already been modified in support of issuing the first cabinet cards. I also like those Fa New York cards with the writing in the border. How many do you now have?

I can throw my personal collection stats at this discussion. My Detroit team set is comprised of Detroit cards that were issued in 1887, 1888, and 1889.

There are 28 different poses in 1887, I'm 100% complete (28/28), have upgraded most poses 2-3 times. Joe Maples has also completed the 1887 run.

30 new poses were introduced in 1888, all Fb, I'm 50% complete (15/30). There were also a number of re-issued poses from 1887, some Fa others Fb, I have 6 such cards.

14 new poses were introduced in 1889, I'm 79% complete (11/14). The 1889 Detroit cards depict Detroit's International Association team, all team change cards. These International Association cards are a bit tougher than the more mainstream NL, AA, & WA 1889 cards.

I do collect all variations including cabinets and Gypsy Queens. Here is a photo I shared last year when I completed the "Big 4" in large format. I have all four possible Detroit variations for Rowe & Richardson (1887 & 1888 N172, N175, and N173). The 1888 N172s, N175s, and N173s can be very tough to come by, difficult to complete the grand-slam.

Joe: That's a great Detroit collection, probably the best ever assembled.

Hi Joe, with your help, I only have the same three with writing in the border. Haven't seen another come up in a while. But then again I've only been half-heartedly looking.
