Good thread. Here is one of my favorite postcard series (Grignon), and postal dated cards--October 12, 1907, the day the Cubs beat Detroit and Cobb to win the 1907 World Series in game five before 7,370 fans at Bennett Park in Detroit. Cobb had a single and was caught stealing. Mordecai Brown won the game defeating George Mullin for Mullin's second loss of the series. Interestingly, Mullin won 20 games and lost 20 that season with a 2.59 ERA.
The comment on the front of the card is wonderful, and at one point a previous owner attributed the note to the Cubs' Frank Schulte. I don't think it's his hand-writing, though.
It is a cool period piece from the final day of the 1907 season.
Cheers,
Mike
