The
1869 Red Stockings from Cincinnati were the first professional
baseball team and in that sense the most historical. The REA
catalog description states "This is one of the most impressive nineteenth-century baseball photographs (or display piece of any kind) we have ever seen, let alone handled"
. That is quite a statement coming from them (Rob Lifson),
and I would concur. The size combined with the team and year put
it way over the exotic line to the point of a national treasure.
