Thanks for sharing some other early examples Joe. In taking a closer look at the silk I have, it's interesting to see that like the cabinet card the "A No. 8." sequence number is also printed on the silk.

I'm adding a new sighting of a Polka Dot Nine players card to this thread. At first glance I thought it was the same image from my silk and the A&G cabinet. However, a closer look shows the following differences; 1) player on right arm is down at her side and 2) reference number is "B. No. 7" versus "A No. 8". This image comes from an unbranded small format tobacco sized card. Enjoy!

Ok. First, my apologies for those of you already bored with this thread. I'm vested at this point and had to post my latest finding. Turns out I'm not the baseball fan I thought I was! What I thought was Second Base appears to actually be First Base. Take a look at the 1880's trade cards below. Apparently the Polka Dot Nine series images were broadly used.

Yes, Jeff - those images were widely used. They were on the Virginia Brights cabinets and the Risidos, and similar pictures are in the N48 (Virginia Brights/Dixie cards) and N508 (Sub Rosa) sets. To muddy the water further, there are more of the images used in the N154 presidential set with oversized heads of candidates on the women's bodies.

I hadn't seen one on a trade card before but it's not surprising to me. We've seen it on your silk and they clearly got around quite a bit.

Hi Jeff, looks like there was a Risido "Out on First".

I've posted all 7 known Risido cards here:

Any increase on 7 known cards?
