N28 Allen & Ginters NOT from 1887 ??

Posted By: Hal Lewis

It has always been reported that the N28 Allen & Ginters cards were from 1887 and were generally considered the FIRST tobacco cards issued.

So how is THAT information explained in light of this:

The N28 "1887" card shows him CLEARLY on the BOSTON team...

but the baseball history books all show that he played the entire 1887 season for CHICAGO and did not suit up for Boston until 1888:

Surely I am not the FIRST person in the World to recognize this fact, am I??

After all, I just purchase a TRUE 1887 card of Clarkson (Old Judge) that SHOWS him with CHICAGO... so it HAS to have been issued BEFORE the Allen & Ginters card:
