1908 Chicago Cubs/White Sox Postcards


Link to old Goodwin auction with some info: http://www.goodwinandco.com/lot-15380.aspx

Quote:

To capitalize on the popularity of the teams, the Crosse Publishing Company printed a popular, prized and, today, very scarce set of 20 postcards featuring 10 Cubs players and 9 White Sox players, and a Cubs team photo.

Hmmmm... it certainly has all the characteristics of a 1908 Cubs/White Sox postcard but it's not listed in the checklist. (edit: nevermind... I see at the bottom where it states "The checklist presented here is probably not complete.")

$ in Shield is its street name. It was actually produced by Suhling Publishing of Chicago. Sullivan is previously known. That book is outdated.

Per Jeff, here is another Suhling, recently gotten in an auction with some other PC's. Just to show another example

Can always check Corson/Lowe Postcard Publishers Trademarks Identified when theres a question about Trademarks ... it can be very helpful

I think the Comiskey that sold last night was a new addition to the checklist, at least I had never seen it before, pretty cool...

Comiskey
 
I think the Comiskey might be considered another card issued by the same manufacturer and not necessarily part of the "set."

It has a completely different look and I wonder if it was issued separately.

The same sort of holds true for the team card, although that one at least has the same gray color.

Just a thought...

What did that lot sell for?

So clever! I spit out my drink from this one! Love it!

They didn't give you much room to write the message on the back of the postcard back then. You could fit about five words in that "space reserved"
