Posted By: <b>Bruce Babcock</b><p>Does anybody know anything about this photo post card? Was it printed & distributed in 1916, or does it merely depict the 1916 Chisox? I know that the divided back post card was instituted in a particular year, but I don't know which year.<br /><br />The hand writing visible on the front is on the image, not the post card.<br /><br />The writing on the back, I believe, refers to when Buck Barker acquired the card from Charles Bray, based on stories I've heard about Barker and his collecting habits. Can anyone confirm this?<br /><br />Did Phototone, based in Chicago, make Cubs postcards as well? Or did the make all the major league teams?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/uffda51/Bray002.JPG"><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/uffda51/back.JPG">
