Photo used for A.C. Dietsche Ira Thomas Postcard
 

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>An auction just ended on ebay for a small 5" X 7" photo which is the image used in the Ira Thomas A.C. Dietsche postcard. It had some damage and was pretty small, but interesting nonetheless.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1169352044.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1169352095.JPG"> <br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Very cool. Do you think the photo was possibly used to make the PC? Do you own the photo, and if so, is there any stamping or writing on the back? We know the Ty Cobb outstretched pose was used on several issues. I wonder if this Thomas pose has any other cards/PC's associated with it? best regards

Posted By: <b>Patrick McMenemy</b><p>Leon:<br /><br />I threw a weak bid at this auction last night partially due to the fact that the seller never returned my email regarding a question I had with the item. The photo also had corner damage and was quite a small photo at 5" x 7". <br /><br />Here's the link to the auction:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Photo-IRA-THOMAS-EDDIE-SUMMERS-Portrait_W0QQitemZ290071979321QQihZ019QQcategoryZ5 0129QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m290071979321" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Photo-IRA-THOMAS-EDDIE-SUMMERS-Portrait_W0QQitemZ290071979321QQihZ019QQcategoryZ5 0129QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m290071979321</a><br /><br />Patrick

Posted By: <b>joe</b><p>The Thomas is from the 1908 set that is harder to find. Can't read the pitcher's name, can anyone else? Please post the name. Sorry I did not see the auction.<br /><br />Joe<br><br>Ty Cobb, Spikes flying!
