Carl Horner Studios Original Cabinet Photograph - Kid Elberfeld
Perhaps the best statistic about "The Tabasco Kid" is this: in 9 of 10 straight seasons between 1902 and 1911, the hard-charging shortstop was in the A.L.'s Top 5 for getting beaned, peaking with a League-leading 25 HBP's in 1911. It wasn't his size that made him an easy target—Elberfeld stood only 5-foot-7 and weighed 158 pounds—but rather his aggressiveness and, no doubt, the ire that such fiery play incurred among opposing pitchers. Elberfeld appears unusually docile in this 5" x 7" black-bordered cabinet photo, though one does sense a brewing intensity beneath his stoic veneer. Image foxing is concentrated primarily along the left side, and the mount itself shows minor perimeter wear. Excellent condition. Authenticated by PSA/DNA. Sold for $1,379.00

While reproductions of his images are common, Horner's original mounted photographs are rare and highly desired. He produced a number of hen's teeth rare and extremely expensive cabinet cards with T206 portraits (same portraits as used on the baseball cards). These cabinets are usually on light colored and ornately embossed mounts with his name on the bottom. He also produced full body cabinet cards and larger mounted photos of baseball players. These are desirable, though not as rare or expensive as his "T206" cabinets. These also have his name on the mount and are ornately embossed.
Horner produced some monster-sized composite baseball photographs. Made for particular leagues or teams, each photo contained many player vignettes. His name usually appears somewhere on the front. These are also rare and extremely expensive.
There are early 1900s imperial cabinet sized premiums that have reproductions (photoengravings with a dot pattern in the image) of Horner's T206 images affixed to a dark colored mounts. Baseball card collectors refer to these as Horner Cabinets. A few of the images in this issue were shot by Benjamin J. Falk not Horner. Though collectable and scarce, these are not actual photographs and are to be distinguished from Horner's more expensive original photographs.
