Posted By: RhettJay, I wondered that at first too, but after I thought about it, when I send a card or letter to my friends and family I don't always sign it at the bottom but more or less write normally so they know who sent it. -Rhett

Posted By: steve fJay, Whomever wrote the side note likely addressed it as well (compare the "D's"). I'd guess Wahoo Sam had a clubhouse boy mail it out. Too big a Star to be running to the PO <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Dan BrettaWOW Rhys. Congrats. About a year ago I was talking to a lady at an estate sale about baseball memorabilia and she told me she picked up a postcard that was mailed by Sam to one of his relatives back in Wahoo. She picked it up in an ordinary lot of postcards so the previous owner had no clue...Unfortunately she didn't want to sell it.

Posted By: Dave ReyThat Germany Schaefer signature on that Tigers PC is spectacular. He's my wife's favorite oldtime ball player -- seeing how ornate he signed, I may have to hunt down a Schaefer sig to add to her collection for her Christmas present this year...

Posted By: warshawlawfirst of all, Rhys, amazing card. Here are two new items. The first is a 1940 PCL fold-out schedule with a Lefty O'Doul bio on the back. The second is a ca. 1900-1905 Max Stein PC of a boxer (I dated it based on the dates of the fighter's career). The twist is that it is a real photo glued to a heavy stock card. Apparently, before Stein started publishing its own line of cards it made up cards to order. I've not seen a baseball card like this; anyone else? <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1160166192.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1160166205.JPG">

Posted By: Jason Lnice pickups, hypothetically speaking! That DiMaggio looks nicer than a 40(3), what am I not seeing? Rhys, echoing the others - gorgeous PC

Posted By: Joe D.not sure why the dimaggio was graded just a 40. I can't see any creasing. Just a tiny bit of color loss at the tip of a couple of corners (the top two)... other than that it is pretty nice looking card. Looks better than a 40 to me.

Posted By: john/z28jd My dad picked up an original Hometown Battery bank cheap at a flea market/car show today.I was trying to find info on them but couldnt find much,just noticed it doesnt have the "reproduced from the original...." on the bottom. Still works too <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1160331647.JPG">

Posted By: brian pI have no clue whether John's coin bank is authentic or not, but I purchased a reproduction of this bank at an Akron department store (a defunct chain somewhat like a third rate KMart) in LA area in the mid 1970's. I still have it, and it does not have any 'reproduction' identification on the item. To wrap things up in a little tiny rubber band ball, there are reproductions out there without any indication that they are reproductions. Brian

Posted By: Max WederWith respect to "Home Town Battery", my reproduction also doesn't have any identification. I'm not sure, but I thought the original bank was always called "Dark Town Battery" Max

Posted By: john/z28jd Yes Max,i did some research afterwards and realized its a reproduction of the original one with the name changed and the players changed from black to white. I didnt see any repo markings like the examples on ebay and a few other sites. I read a description from an antique toy website and their wording was confusing which led me to believe that the one i and you have were made after the one with the black players,but it was also reproduced at a later date. That mightve actually happened since neither of ours has the reproduction wording at the bottom,but i cant be sure of that. Its a cool piece either way and my dad bought it for display purposes because it was cheap,not for its potential resale value
