Jim its funny because the other night i pulled out Menechine's book and saw these and i said to myself, oh ill have to post them for Jim this weekend.


Soooo, i guess I can cross that off my list.

Good work pulling these together.

Are there other answers you're searching for or do you feel pretty good where you are?

Thanks Peter! I'm pretty confident that I now know what it is now, but I'd love to know if there are Schumann shots out there and how many total exist. My guess is there may be only single digit amounts of these out there total for all Schumann baseball RPPCs combined.

Hi Jim,

I have (or had) these Schumann cards, I think I traded the West Side with carriages card.

Fantastic Jim! Are yours stamped by Schumann on back and/or postmarked?

I didn't realize that this is also a Schumann, I've had two of these with different titles.

[WillowGrove]

Whoa. GreenMonster that is great.

Jim C you having fun yet?


Great thread!

Having a blast, Jim’s Collection of Schumanns is fantastic!

I have owned many Schumann postcards before, although none were baseball related. He was quite prolific in Chicago. There have been lots of famed RPPC photographers and he's on that list along with Wilkerson, Sanborn, SD Butcher, etc.

Jim Schneider's (post 16) postcard was discussed here:

That copy of the postcard had been altered and it was falsely claimed to depict a World Series game.
