So, John Q - you were the one who out-bid me for that 1926 Toronto PC on ebay last year!!! Arghhh!

Here are a few of my favorites - (1) 1908 R. Marquard, (2) 1909 D. Bancroft, (3) 1909 w/ S. Covaleski, (4) 1910 w/ J.L. Wilkinson, and (5) 1937 w/ T. Williams:

[h2oya311]

Good stuff Derek, you'll be adding to that postcard collection next week!:)

Thanks Jeff!!! Yes, there was one notably absent PC from your original post! This will probably be the best pick-up for me for the entire year!

All the best, Derek

[WillowGrove]

It's hard for me to even say that my favs are Jeff's Crawford ready for the ball, Jim's Maranville Day and Bosox arriving, Brad's lefty grove - because they're all really interesting, tougher cards. Great thread.

Btw- Steve - who are the players with the auto?

Here's a few of mine......

1. The back tells us the picture was taken July 4th 1914 in Arnegard, North Dakota. Town founded in 1913. Population in the 2010 census, 115.

2. I never took the time to research this one. AZO and Undivided back. Maybe taken abroad on an Army base during WWI?

3/4. I think this is the only card in the Red Belt series that I have seen produced in a different way. (jimmy Collins sliding)

5. Hilltop Park. A Thaddeus Wilkerson card. A toughie. He took photos of NYC and privately produced into PC's. I live a couple miles away from where the Highlanders used to play and every so often take a walk around where the field was and reminisce.

Hope you enjoy. Really great cards guys.

[packs]

Great postcards!

Here's my lone example. Back to back to back 20 game winner Frank Owen on the hill for the first pitch ever thrown at Swayne field while a member of the Toledo Mudhens. I'm pretty sure somewhere in the infield is HOFer Joe McCarthy who spent the 1909 season with Toledo.

Great postcard. Love it.

It's also the only image of Ty Cobb that makes me think of Godzilla. Oh wait a sec maybe..... nope just this one.

A couple of Negro Leagues HOFers I'm kinda proud of:
First is a 1939 Puerto Rican card featuring Josh Gibson. (Back row, 4th from right).
Second is a 1925 RPPC with Willie Wells.

Don't really know. I thought one of the fellows looked like a young WaJo but haven't done much research to confirm or refute.

Similar to the 1917 White Sox postcard shown earlier, this one is from 1914 and pictures Red Faber during his rookie season............

Fantastic postcards guys....wow....this has been a lot of fun for me. I collect primarily postcards, ballparks mostly. One reason I enjoy collecting postcards, as shown in many posts here, at some point you'll have a "one of a kind" item.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Here are some of mine, all with Pre-Rookie HOF'ers including Edd Rousch & Hack Wilson (not identified on the SGC flips)..............

[dell webb]

Just came in the mail today along with 9 more mostly from the twin state league circa 1910. Any chance the guy second from the right is Buck Weaver? I know it's a stretch but Buck spent some time with the team in 1910.

Hi All,

I like the RRPC's being shown here. Especially true since I collect photographs and most of my concert photography is in black and white. I cannnot contribute any baseball pc's as I do not collect baseball. I am, however posting some RRPC's and one publicity PC from my Olympic archives. As I do not know how to put words between the images I am listing them first.

Nate Cartmell - 1904 & 1908 1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze athletics

Charley Jewtraw - 1st ever Winter Olympics gold medal speedskating

Johnny Garrels -1908 silver hurdles, bronze shotput. One of the greatest all-around athletes in University of Michigan history. Left end on the 1904 and 1905 'Point a Minute' football teams. Fullback in 1906 and scored the first TD at Ferry Field.

Albert Gutterson - 1912 gold long jump. Official Olympic PC from Sweden

Johnnie Hayes - 1908 gold marathon. Finished second, but awarded gold when Dorando from Italy was helped across the line by officials.

Mort Kaer- 1924 Athletic pentathlon. 1st USC consensus All American in football. His 19 TD's in 1925 not broken until O.J. Simpson in 1968. NFL Franford Yellowjackts 1931. College Football Hall of Fame.

Joie Ray - 1924 bronze track. Also competed in 1920, 1928. Inscribed to Rube Waddell, but not THAT Rube Waddell.

Louis Scott - 1912 gold track. Signed on the back

Oscar Osthoff -1904 gold and silver weightlifting. Lettered in FB, track and gymnastics at Wisconsin. State champ in diving at the age of 40. Football coach at Washington State 1910-1911.

Hope you like them.

[Michael B]

I forgot to post these two so here they are.

1972 U.S. Olympic Wrestling team. Mailed from Munich during the games. Tallest athlete in the back row is Ken Patera. He made a name for himself in pro wrestling. Man on the left with the glasses is John Terpak. Competed in the 1936 and 1948 Olympics. He was a world champ in 1937 and 1947.

1904 Olympics - men competing in the high bar. This may be practice as the photo is dated in pencil July 26,1904 and there were no events on this day. There were gymnastics events two weeks later (Bohemian Gymnastics) and also as part of track and field at the end of August. Not all of the events in St Louis in 1904 were Olympic events. There were high school, AAU and other events which were all part of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition aka 1904 Worlds Fair.

Yes, it's the one recently sold on ebay. I found another image of one other member of the team. The Capt. Powell.

I forgot to post these two so here they are.

1972 U.S. Olympic Wrestling team. Mailed from Munich during the games. Tallest athlete in the back row is Ken Patera. He made a name for himself in pro wrestling. Man on the left with the glasses is John Terpak. Competed in the 1936 and 1948 Olympics. He was a world champ in 1937 and 1947.

1904 Olympics - men competing in the high bar. This may be practice as the photo is dated in pencil July 26,1904 and there were no events on this day. There were gymnastics events two weeks later (Bohemian Gymnastics) and also as part of track and field at the end of August. Not all of the events in St Louis in 1904 were Olympic events. There were high school, AAU and other events which were all part of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition aka 1904 Worlds Fair.

That is the 1972 US Weightlifting team, not Wrestling. Several notable lifters pictured.

This was mailed in my hometown of Fort Branch, Indiana to another resident of Fort Branch in 1909. I don't know if it is our home team or not. The white painter's cap one guy is wearing says Evansville on it. Evansville is 20 miles away. Love the buggy in the background and the really short guy in the middle who looks like he has an attitude. Is he even 5 feet tall?

I don't collect stadium PCs per se, but I do collect some venue PCs that catch my interest. Here are a few:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/boxingpostcards/websize/1900%20PC%20MSG%201.JPG

Madison Square Garden, the Mecca of boxing, This mailing card-backed picture of the second [1890-1925] stadium of that name caught my eye because of the lower corner of the building, which plainly shows advertising for the Jim Corbett-Charlie McCoy bout on August 30, 1900. See the next image for a close-up.

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/boxingpostcards/websize/1900%20PC%20MSG%202.JPG

A view of the next Madison Square Garden, actually a promotional PC for the Nedick's restaurant. The picture was taken September 9, 1949; the marquee advertises the Gavilan-Castellani bout that evening.

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/boxingpostcards/websize/1949-09-09%20Nedicks%20PC.jpg

1965 Dodgers PC shot at Chavez Ravine. One of the ways you can date a Dodgers stadium photo is to look at the palm trees behind the pavilion. When the stadium opened they looked like pipe cleaners, with the fronds straight up.

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/miscellaneous4/large/1965%20Dodgers.jpg

This Drysdale you know was a few years after the stadium opened because the palms had developed pretty good 'beards':

1910 Kansas City Red Sox with Casey Stengel

Has anyone seen this image before?

[bcbgcbrcb]

Are the Kansas City Red Sox & Kansas City Blues the same team? Stengel played for the Blues in 1910 but only 4 games, it would be very unusual for him to appear on a team photo having played in that few games........

No, they are two different teams. He played for the KC Red Sox, not the Blues.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Scott:

Here is the link to the Baseball-Reference.com website indicating that he played on the Kansas City Blues, do they have it wrong?

Yes

There are other photos of Stengel when he played with the KC Red Sox, also with Marysville (including a baseball card), but I haven't seen this actual image before. Scouring the internet, can't find it, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

[bcbgcbrcb]

What league did the Kansas City Red Sox play in?

[Runscott]

What league did the Kansas City Red Sox play in?

Phil, it would probably take you about as long to use Google as to ask this question. You could also use the 'search' feature of this forum.

I fully understand your point, but it would be much easier to respond to if you would simply post it.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Scott:

I did a google search first and nothing came up, hence the question

The bottom line is: I don't believe that the team pictured on the postcard is the same one that Casey Stengel played for and obviously then Stengel would not be pictured there. The scenario becomes even harder to believe when you state that there are other photos picturing Casey Stengel on this Kansas City Red Sox team (which I don't think is even a professional baseball team) when he played a total of 4 games in 1910 for a Kansas City minor league team, which I believe is correctly identified as the Blues on Baseball-Reference.com. How many photo opportunities would 4 games played lend itself to?

[Runscott]

Phil, that wasn't so difficult, was it? :)

[bcbgcbrcb]

I found the previous Net 54 post about it, don't remember seeing it before. It mentions a semi-pro team which could be the one on the postcard. I don't know that much about Stengel nor his amateur career and am not going to start endless research on it so I will graciously apologize for the misunderstanding and leave it as is.

There is no need to apologize. What you posted previously (and above) is exactly in line with what I found prior to bidding on this postcard.

Other than my own theories, I know little more than you do, but I feel that there is still research that I can do to validate those theories (or invalidate them). I have to visit northern Missouri, Iowa and Chicago, to research a baseball team I'm writing about - the Japanese Base Ball Association - so I'll just add the Kansas City Red Sox to the research list.

The bigger area of doubt, unfortunately, is whether or not the postcard is real. I tend to lean toward the negative when it comes to such things, so I'm meeting with David today to go over it in detail.

Saving the above so that I can find it later when searching for my own posts.

Thanks, Phil.

[bcbgcbrcb]

I don't blame you, Scott. If I had the chance to buy that postcard, then I would do the endless research involved, especially since it would pre-date 1910 when his T210 card was issued and which costs a fortune and I can't afford right now. This postcard would fill that spot in my collection and I would not have to spend thousands to get a 1910 Stengel card.

[bcbgcbrcb]

I don't know if it helps the cause any but here is a postcard picturing Casey Stengel in 1911 (Aurora), Casey is the guy lying on the ground above his initials. I believe this postcard originated from the Stengel estate.

[Jaybird]

Sure looks like him. Being left handed doesn't hurt the case...

This postcard would fill that spot in my collection and I would not have to spend thousands to get a 1910 Stengel card.

If my theory is correct, both the T210 and existing Maysville postcards would pre-date this postcard, so if you considered postcards as qualifying for 'rookie card' status, the only competition your T210 card would have would be the Maysville postcard.

[bcbgcbrcb]

So you think he played for the Red Sox team after 1910? I was thinking semi-pro would have preceeded his minor league days, that's why I went with pre-1910.

As an aside, do you have an image of the Maysville postcard?

[Exhibitman]

Just got this one, a newspaper issued PC that was mailed the day of the big fight between Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey from Toledo, OH, where the fight took place.

[Runscott]

Phil, I did some more googling and found this: KC Courier News article on Stengel (http://couriernews.suntimes.com/photos/galleries/14825193-417/casey-at-the-molar-hall-of-famer-spent-1911-season-in-aurora.html)

The article describes his time playing for Aurora in 1911. It also has a gallery of photos, including one of Stengel with the KC Red Sox - while he's not wearing a sweater as he is in my photo, it's clearly the same player, and he appears to even be wearing the exact same uniform in both photos. The Baseball Hall of Fame could definitely be wrong, but I like their thinking.

Click on the small 'gallery' image of Stengel to the left to get a larger image and the following text below the photo: "Casey Stengel with the Kansas City Red Sox, one season before he came to Aurora. Photo courtesy~Baseball Hall of Fame"

This corroborates my theory which I explained to you by email. The postcard back is a 'KRUXO' with clubs in the corners, dating it to the correct years.

Also, I know I spotted a postcard of the 1910 Maysville team, but now I can't find it for anything.

Here is a young Brooklyn Stengel, the KC Courier image, and my image:

Since some non-baseball postcards have been included in this thread I'll include two here along with baseball:

3. A guy who loves his mom.
4. A guy named Joe.

You've got a very good case there, Scott. I guess now the big question is whether or not the postcard is real since you doubted its authenticity earlier. I wish you were closer to me, I would be happy to take a look and give you my opinion, for what it's worth. I know you have handled lots of real photo postcards before and are probably more of an expert than I am.

Thanks. I am pretty good with photos, but every now and then I get one that just doesn't look quite right - probably paranoia on my part, but David will have it in hand in 30 minutes, so we'll know then.

It looks more 'good' than it does 'bad'.

[Michael B]

I got this in the mail today. It is not even for my personal collection as he is not an American and I only collect images of American Olympians. This signature is nice for my Olympic Autograph database. Probably the only exemplar collection of just Olympians. It does not have a full postcard back, just the address lines, but is it printed on RPPC paper so I feel it fits in the category.

This is Claes Johanson (1884-1949) - He won a gold medal in Greco-Roman Wrestling (middleweight) at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and a gold medal in Greco-Roman Wrestling (light heavyweight) at the 1920 Olympics in Antwerpen. He also competed in 1924 in Paris, but did not medal at the age of 40.

He has signed the back. Below his signature it reads: 'Olympiska Mastare 1920' - Olympic Champion 1920 and 'Goteborg, Sverige' - Goteborg, Sweden, the town he lived in.

Really like the Seattle card too.

Here's one that arrived today, very tough Shibe card.

[bbpostcards]

Some postcards tell a story that has nothing to do with runs, hits, or errors.

The first tells a story in its image alone. It speaks for itself.

The second reflects the itinerant life led by some barnstorming African American teams.

The third of Slim Sallee tells us some things about him.

The fourth is an iconic image of courage.

The last speaks for itself in the same way as the first, but says something entirely different.

holy crap, Jim. Is that written by Cy Young?


Edited to add: I can't find any Lula in relation to Cy, so maybe my eyes deceive me. And I know nothing of handwriting so....

Very cool card nonetheless. I have never seen another of the same image.

Hi Mark...One of the great things about postcards, there is always something new showing up and some many avenues to collect....and talk about rarity...there are less copies known of most of the postcards shown in the last couple of posts than there are Honus Wagner T206s available, with several of these cards being one of one known. It's a wonderful hobby niche with good guys involved.

[Greenmonster]

I really love PC's. What a great thread, Jim: love your Boston PC's. Here are a few of my fav's.

Michael...we speak the same language, great stuff...I've been looking for the Speaker American Series after letting one get away from my collection a few years ago....and had never seen the Cady Underwood card, very nice! Thanks to a trade with a fellow board member I just added Cy Delivering the goods. Fun stuff.

I'm seeing postcards I once owned.:D

There are a lot of posts just leaving me speechless...WOW keep them coming.

Anyone have some ballpark cards, one of my favorites for you Chicago fans:

[Rob D.]

Anyone have some ballpark cards,

Here's a "panarama view" of the "new" League Park in Cleveland. Measures about 5 x 31 inches, and does indeed have a postcard back. Condition is lacking, but I nevertheless was thrilled to pick it up recently. I think I'm going to have it framed, which will be a challenge. Sorry for the crappy, smart-phone photo.

Rob...Thanks for posting this card, I've only seen it one other time, it was meant to be sent rolled as opposed to folded, great item congratulations.

Thanks, Jim.

While searching for other examples that had sold, the only one I was able to find was in a Leland's auction, maybe about 5 years ago. Is that the same one you referenced?

Just stumbled on this thread, what a great collection of postcards, it was fun paging through.

One to add, the writing on the postcard is by Tinker's first wife, Ruby. I've never seen another example of this card. I have no idea about the show mentioned on the card.

Hi Dave....Great stuff....Thank you for sharing!

Does anyone know what caused Spider Clark's death at the young age of 24?

[tkd7]

I'll add this one also - McComb's Dam Park - I'm guessing this is the park that became the future home of Yankee Stadium or the Park that still remains next to the demolished Yankee Stadium site.

I don't usually venture into postcards but this one seemed really interesting. Carlisle Indians baseball game circa 1907. Jim Thorpe is on the field somewhere.

Very cool Thorpe postcard, Derek. I am a Thorpe fan myself (I live 45 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Pa., and 90 minutes from Carlisle, Pa.) and have only seen copies of that postcard a handful of times. There was an unused copy of that postcard on eBay with an asking price of $2,500 or best offer for several months that just recently sold. I know in the past when I have looked up that postcard, there were only 2-3 of them graded on the combined PSA/SGC population chart.

That whole grouping with it was nice. I was watching it. I have quite a few of the pc's from that set showing Americans, but I focus on original photos of U.S. Olympians so I passed.

Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum so a little introduction is in order.

My name's Shane and have collected cards and stuff since I was very young. But alas when I became a teenager all my stuff was either lost or stolen. Well now I'm 34 and married now so I thought it was about time to start over again cause not much else gives me as much joy as collecting and talking to collectors. Anyways here is a postcard I just picked up,

[jb217676]

Here's a 1910 Philadelphia Athletics Team Composite Postcard I got today, pretty cool because I haven't seen this one before!

[Michael Peich]

Here is a follow up to Brad's post (back in April) of Cap Anson's Colts. This is a small postcard that I think has been trimmed. I picked it up because of the Anson connection (Cap is the portly fellow in the center, back row), but also because I think the player in the bottom row, right (name on his shirt) is Fred Wehrell who played for the Anderson Electricians (So. Carolina) in the 1909 Carolina Association. I have also included a scan of the 1909 Anderson team postcard.

Enjoy,
Mike
