A postcard of Harley "Pete" Wood (Smoky Joe's brother) at the University of Kansas. Pete's actual postcard that he sent to his cousins back home in Ness City, KS in 1909.

1880 baseball postal card
2 Attachment(s)
This August 24, 1880 postal card to the Haymaker base ball club of Bellville, Ohio from the Fredrickstown base ball club from Fredrickstown, Ohio is one of the earliest postal cards I've seen referencing baseball (I don't remember seeing one from before 1880), and is the earliest example of a base ball challenge sent as a postal card I have seen.

I really dig this, nice pickup. I seriously considered trying to buy it but held off - I am happy to know that it went to a board member, thanks for posting it.

1906 Shreveport Pirates / Southern Association

I thought Southern collectors might like this one of the Shreveport Pirates of the Southern Association. It's postmarked 1906, very early for a team postcard. Two years later Chick Gandil and Zach Wheat played for them.

I forgot I had this one:

Had that one for a number of years, Dan. WaJo was always one of my favorites. Glad to see it went to a good home via the auction route.
|
And Thank You Phil for letting it go as I Love it! Its my favorite WaJo. This and the Lajoie were huge for me as that Lajoie is one of my favorite HOF Rookies. I know I'm selling alot of my vintage but these are 2 you will NOT see on the BST!
|
Thanks Jim.
The Novelty Johnson is a nice card, may be the only from the set where I prefer the pc796 counterpart though, closer-up cropping of the image and they got his name right. Both are great cards though! |

Here's a C.1925-33 Real Photo Postcard of Mickey Cochrane. Thanks greenmonster!
|
Very cool postcard, Jeff. My research shows that it's either 1929 or 1930 based on the uniform style, same both years.
|
Thanks Phil! The reverse has an AZO stamp box with the four squares so that's how I got my dates, thanks for narrowing it down for me!
|
Very nice, reminds me of your Grove.
|
That's funny you mention that Jeff, I was just looking at those two postcards side by side!

1906 V.O. Hammon Publications, Chicago #320 Postcard
I was born in Aurora IL, so this postcard has special meaning to me. It depicts a "Bunch of Baseball Fans" standing outside the Beacon-News Building (the town's newspaper published continuously since 1846) getting updates on the 1906 World Series between the Cubs and White Sox. There was probably a chalkboard in the window where ticker-tape updates were relayed and posted for all to see. http://www.baseballcardstars.com/per...beaconnews.jpg |

This private mailing card showing Pittsburgh's Exposition Park in the background is the earliest card intended for mailing I know of which shows a major league stadium (left side, in the distance). The card is postmarked September 21, 1903, just 10 days before the start of the first World Series game in history between the Boston Americans and Pittsburgh Pirates on October 1 at Boston's Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds.
My website (link below) has galleries of early baseball postal cards, unusual baseball postcards, and pre-1920 World Series related postcards if you're interested in seeing more. |
