I used to own this one. I guess you could call it a minor league card.

I think this might be the first minor league card set, the 1886 Hancock Clothing Syracuse Stars cards. Here is the Buckley, their catcher.

Here is the back of the Buckley card. I like the cards because they are kind of related (big stretch) to the Old Judge set. Goodwin & Company distributed the Old Judge set, Goodwin (different Goodwin) was the photographer for the Hancock cards. Also, both Buckley and Tomney, two of the three known subjects in this set, later appeared in the Old Judge set.

Thats a cool card. I was not aware of the issue and never even thought of what the first minor league card was/could be. Interesting that Phil Tomney is one of the subjects. Do you perhaps have a scan? Thats another Tomney card added to my checklist I will never own

I really like those cards, Jay. I'm less than 100 miles from Syracuse. Thanks for showing them.
