You probably unsubscribed from emails. They are GZauctions http://gzauctions.com/ They had a banner here during their whole auction and have been an advertiser several times including that auction. There were several, great, early cdvs. I picked the one I liked most and so be it. They aren't as expensive as they should be.

I wasn’t lucky enough to win this cdv in the auction but certainly was enamored with it. It is a game-action shot of two identified teams, one of which (Hudson River) played with the top-tier teams of that era. In the background is their HUGE flag waving with the letters HRBBC on it. Whoever won it got a great and important early image. There is a book out there that even discusses this game.

If somebody on the forum won this, maybe they’ll share a better scan of it.
