November Pickups

Great stuff Aaron! Love the E121!

This came today, lightning fast shipping from REA. Pretty excited about this one. Has anyone ever seen another? C. 1925-1926 RPPC. REA states it has never seen another and believes the man behind the automobile wheel to be Brother Matthias. From pictures I've seen it certainly is! Check out photo bellow I found, must have been taken same day and time of Ruth and Brother Matthias next to the automobile. The other player is Fred Merkle (smoking cigar) who was only with the Yankees those 2 years.

REA didn't name anyone else in the picture. Can anyone else confirm or have guesses as to other people in the image? Is the woman Helen Woodford Ruth? I believe it is but would like a bit more confirmation. I feel like the guy next to woman with open suit top and striped tie looks familiar but maybe not (possibly a player?)... Can anyone name the other priests, or confirm that this is likely in front of St. Marys Industrial School?

Also does anyone know of Brother Matthias being on any other card or postcard?

I've wanted a vintage photo or any type of collectible of Brother Matthias now for some time and think I may have just found one of, if not the top one!

The image quality is spectacular!
