these are from a collection of 49 one-of-a-kind ink drawings on the message half (back side) of postcards, 16 of them (shown below) featuring cartoon-style
Baseball drawings relating to the
1912-1913 Minor League (Southern Association) Birmingham Barons...the front side of the postcards features different views of Birmingham, Alabama (sadly, none of views on front includes
Rickwood Field)
the final scanned image features
Ty Cobb signing his famous 1913 "reinstatement" contract, and is postmarked April 27, 1913, just a few days after the actual signing of the contract (link for the 1913 NY TIMES article re: the contract signing):
