Is this Cap Anson?

I do not think that it is Anson. What year and team do you think is shown?

The third image pictures Anson in 1874 when he played with the Athletics.

Picture was taken in 1868-1875 in Clarinda Iowa. Everything associated with Clarinda Iowa is the “A’s” but no other details. Note: Anson was from Iowa.

This is another confirmed team image of Anson 1874

I’m saying no as well.

Here is Anson in 1871 with the Forest City’s
From his book A Ball Players Career

Close, but I think no cigar

No for me also. The photographer was born in 1854 so the early date of 1868 is highly unlikely, more likely 1875-85. Nice early image.
