Show your World Champion Chicago Cubs!

Frank "Wildfire" Schulte hit .389 in the 1908 Series.

I loved this one as soon as I saw it:

Go Cubbies all the way! The postcard is not for sale. That's one of those hard to remove stickers.

Here's a post I made a while back. Got many of the cards on the BST here.

FYI - Zippo Lighter Fluid works wonders on stickers

Should be a great series

WOW!! Thanks for the awesome Cards and photos.

Attachment 249094"Big Ed" was 24W-7L in 1908.
Hey Ted..... I always thought this variation of Reulbach was a bit scarce because there was only the Piedmont 150 back. That is until I recently bought the Sweet Cap. Just how many different backs of Reulbach are there?

Orval Overall

1908:

Season: 15-11 (1.92 era)

World Series: 2-0 (0.98 era; 10 strike outs in final game 5) ......... :)

That's really an awesome postcard!

Not from the 1908 champs, but what about from their first championship team of 1876?

On a side note, the Cubs haven't won it all in 108 years. That game last night was their 103rd post season game in franchise history. Knowing that history loves to leave a trail of eery facts and coincidences, could we see the Cubbies in 5?

I am rooting for Cleveland, but the Cubs have more than a good Chance.

Harper's Weekly, May 2, 1908, page 14.

Teams pictured, from the top, are the Giants, Highlanders, Cubs and Tigers.

Some amazing stuff guys!

I think it would really cool if the cubbies were to wear 1908 throwback uni's.

Some of my favorites:

SC 150/30
Sovereign 150
Brown Hindu
Attachment 249235

Thanks Pat. WOW! that Hindu is something. I'm going to keep an eye out for the Sovereign.

Here's the starting lineup from the 1908 Series, all raw, with Mordecai as the pitcher. (Tinker and Chance were cracked out of SGC holders, 20 and AUTH respectively.) These particular cards all have Piedmont and Sweet Caporal backs, but I have several T206 Cubs with tougher backs, including a Hindu red Chance (with front damage), a Cycle 460 Reulbach no glove, an AB 350 Pfeister throwing, and an AB 460 Overall yellow sky. I also have a Chance yellow portrait that looks much nicer than this red portrait, but I wanted the symmetry of having the infield be all "CUBS" portraits.

Looks like it's been closed since 1931. Link Cool photo. Probably are some Cubbies in there somewhere but the only face I can make out is Smilin' Ken Landis in bottom pic at right.

Have always loved the period ink on this one (including nick name) :)
