Barry,

It's hard to see on the posted image but the missing third post (first base) is just to right of the scorer's table. It shows up very clearly on a blown up tiff image I have, but that file is too large to display.

Thanks Bruce. I originally thought that might be a post, but it's too small and indistinct. Don't those bases look really far apart?

A bit blurry, but the third post is clearly visible.

I think the card is fantastic myself. I believe the layout of the field and the actual position of the fielders, especially the outfielders are not like they where actually in real life. The person that drew the picture had so much space to put everything in and drawing it to real life would not be easy. It was easier to bring in the outfielders and draw it like it was on the side of the hill. They would have needed several balls if they played that close to the lake also.

Corey- it's actually pretty clear.

I don't see either a plate or a post near where the batter is standing. Could the catcher or batter be blocking the fourth post?

That looks like Jamie Moyer pitching.

Corey's definitely got me beat, but thought I'd show (again) my oldest card to keep the thread rolling. I think it's older than any ACC "N" card.

Best Regards and Happy Collecting
Craig

That guy has got the earliest swing in the "history" of the game!

Awesome piece.

Sorry for the expression, but there seems to be some kind of base to the stakes.
Could Harper steal home on this field?

This is excellent information! Thanks all for sharing.

It's fascinating to me how great everyone's penmanship seemed to be in the 19th century.
