I may have ended up getting lucky with this one on eBay. Posted the original the other day, after research and help of much more knowledable pre-war folks, looks like the cabinet photo I aquired is the exact printing plate to the photo inserted in the 1907 Spalding Guide.

Mine is on the left...photo in guide is bottom left. This was taken in 1906 when Mike Simon played for Peoria. He wouldn't make it to the majors until about 1910. image

    Thanks! The next stage will be going through the process to get it authenticated, would be nice if it could get a numerical grade, but I'm guessing will just be authenticated as Mike Simon's printing plate for 1907 Spalding Guide issue. We shall see...

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Thanks Jim!

    The question now guys....who to look at for grading? I know this is a PSA site...and I do prefer PSA...as I only collect PSA t206's as well as submit them....but, for an item like this? Anybody got an opinion? SGC it seems is usually the way people go with more oddball type stuff. Also...I'm guessing it would just get authenticated and slabbed and not a numerical grade?
