Kudos to Joe for a really nice article in Old Cardboard #13 about the Tomlinson Studios of Detroit, with great photographs and a wealth of useful information. |

Thanks Barry, the compliment means a lot coming from you. I was surprised to see issue #13 in the mailbox moments ago as I returned from work. I wasn't expecting to see it for several days yet. I was impressed with the layout and pleased to see all that Detroit material on the cover. I just hope I haven’t made future Tomlinson pieces on the open market more difficult to obtain Best Regards, Joe Gonsowski |

That's funny Joe, because I thought you misspelled it in the article and I just didn't want to say anything. But it turns out everyone else has been spelling it wrong. |

I've received several emails asking similar questions and thought I'd reply here for those interested. Also, since I haven't done so publicly yet, I want to thank Lyman & Brett Hardeman for another fine issue of Old Cardboard. I hope that Net54 members will take the time each issue to discuss the articles and help spread the word so the magazine can further flourish. While the image size above is significantly reduced, you can see that the top two cabinets are pose variations of the same player. Both are Ned Hanlon Tomlinson cabinets from the 1886 photo shoot. So slight pose variations exist for most if not all players photographed that day. Moving onto Charlie Bennett (bottom row of cabinets), the 2 Old Judge cabinets on the right are a slight pose variation of the Tomlinson on the left but undoubtedly from the same photo shoot. Furthermore, Goodwin and Company released the Bennett with and without "DETROIT" still visible across the chest. I suspect only the earliest copies would have "DETROIT" present while the later copies have "DETROIT" erased/whitened out. I was also asked what if anything in the article was part of my own collection. I do own some of the items shown in the article including the 1886 team cabinet (perhaps my favorite piece), the Lorillard, and all the Tomlinson portrait cabinets except the Deacon White in suit. I also have several other baseball Tomlinson cabinets not shown in the article including the Hanlon action pose above right. The middle Bennett OJ cabinet (the only Bennett I'm aware of with DETROIT on the uniform) is also part of my collection. There was also an inquiry as to whether the Detroit Public Library displays their Tomlinson cabinets. The answer to that is yes, but you will likely have to ask someone from the Burton Collection to let you into the Ernie Harwell room. Once inside, you'll find the Tomlinson cabinets including a fantastic team photo together with other baseball memorabilia (heavy Detroit bias). The library has a great collection of baseball photos and to a lesser extent cards but only a small portion of them are displayed in the Harwell room. Item's not present in the Harwell room are tougher to view, heck I haven't been able to see everything and I'm now good friends with the Curator. http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/Special_Collections/special_collections.htm Best Regards, Joe Gonsowski |
