Default 1909 Dwight Eisenhower Baseball Postcard - Presidential/Baseball Items

I saw this RPPC on eBay a few weeks ago, being sold by an antique dealer/picker in Kansas. It was advertised as Dwight Eisenhower’s high school baseball team. I was able to contact the seller, and he said he had found it in an album of postcards in a larger collection of stuff he had bought in Kansas (not far from Abilene). I did some research and determined that it was, in fact, Ike as a senior at Abilene High School in 1909 (the same image is posted on the Eisenhower Presidential Library official website). I purchased the postcard and submitted it (with all the documentation) to SGC. Ike is front row in the middle and his brother Edgar is front row on the right (the image is much more clear in hand). I would love to see any other presidential/baseball items any of you have!
