More postcards

Since some non-baseball postcards have been included in this thread I'll include two here along with baseball:
1. 1915-1916 Portland Rosebuds (first U.S. team to play for Stanley Cup) 2. A fun boxing postcard. 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.

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. |

Cap Anson's Colts playing in Marengo, IL, August 28, 1908.
http://www.capanson.com/pictures/Ans...tcardFront.jpg I did a comprehensive research project on this postcard, complete with newspaper accounts of the game. It's an interesting read! http://www.capanson.com/coltspostcard.htm |

images that tell a story
5 Attachment(s)
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. |

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. |
Charlie Young
Jason, per the 1940 census, Lula M. Young (to whom that postcard is addressed) was married to Charlie C. Young. But no matter, it is a very nice postcard, for sure.

Here's a RPPC of the 1907 Worcester Busters team with HOFer Jesse Burkett.

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. http://photos.imageevent.com/tkd7/sp...rge/img749.jpg |
