[Leon]

Well, Lichtman has the favorite one (Rose PC- Cobb) I could own but here is a neat one I have shown before.....

[Michael Peich]

Leon-Thanks for sharing the Zeenut pc once again--great image.

I have many postcards in my collection, and this one is unique. It was a different era in 1907, and I also keep in mind Jerry Seinfeld's comment, "But, that's okay."

Cheers, Mike

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Found this one in an old school here in Buffalo. I grew up just around the corner from the stadium. This post card brought many memories.

Hi Clayton. Good to hear from you buddy. Not sure of whom the teams are, but it's a 1911 ball game being played at the Ohio/Pennsylvania League ball field in Liverpool Ohio.
Postally stamped on the reverse. That's all I really know about the piece. It's by far one of the most amazing shots I've seen on an rppc.

Just snagged this one on Ebay yesterday... These don't come around too often, so I am tickled to have this Nashville PC in the collection !

Tony - Ditto on the comments re/ the Ohio/Penn Stadium view with fans looking over the outfield fence. Love that PC - Tells a story for sure...

Cool Colonials postcard, never seen that one before.

What kind of PC is that Kahl, Rob? I'm not sure I've ever seen that one before.

It's a Souvenir Post Card Shop of Cleveland, without the identifying printing you typically see on the front (like in the Lajoie below, which I pulled from OldCardboard's site).

The Kahl has an interesting history. I bought it from Lew Lipset, who bought it from Charles Bray. The thing that throws me about this one is his uniform. Scroll up in this thread, and you'll see Jeff's team composite from the series. All of the players are wearing dark jerseys with with either a "C" or "Cleveland" on the front. Yet Kahl's uniform is white. According to baseballreference.com, Kahl made his debut May 2, 1905, and his final game was Aug. 2 in that, his only major-league season. So it's not like he was a late-season addition.

My kind of thread! Some great items posted so far. Here is a mixed bag of postcards from my shoebox.

". . Take me out with the crowd!" Recent eBay pickup.
San Francisco Rec Park. Home of the Seals until 1931 or thenabouts. Another collector has this card with a 1911 postmark; mine is unused.


Couple of ballplayers.


Couple more.


Mahalo nui loa to Frank Ward for this Red Belt variation which island-hopped to Oahu a few days ago.
Howard Ehmke is depicted with Syracuse in 1916 prior to a long career in the Bigs.


Showed the Senators postcard a month or two back. It's date was ascertained to be 1918.
I have always loved this Sportsman Park postcard, a neighbourhood ballyard, a fantasy setting.

I love this PC. Thanks for sharing Tony. The expansive foul territory in left, the nice wheels parked along the left field side. Looks like you got your VIP seats jutting out down the left field line. A mini Coogans Bluff behind the park. Must have been an important game as the place is packed. Pure Americana. I thought it deserved a 2nd showing in this thread. Lot's of neat stuff in this thread. Also, my kind of thread

[Jason19th]

Here's one of my best pickups a 1908 postcard of a small Wisconsin town team featuring George Wilson a famous black player who had played with the Page Fence Giants in the 1890's

Mike, love that HM Taylor Tigers card!

[bobbvc]

I really like the Wagner semi-pro shot.

[docpatlv]

Thanks Jeff,

I bought it at the Philly show a few shows back and the dealer told me he knew of only two, the one I bought and one that was in a museum in Detroit. I'm sure there are more, but I haven't seen another.

BTW, I was an underbidder on your Tigers Amer. Pub PC and the Cincy PC with Mathewson. When are you gonna let me win one?

Mike
