RPPC Deadball Era Visual Showcase Thread
I would like this thread to serve as an informal visual showcase for Real Photo Post Cards "RPPCs" of Major League players from the Deadball Era. Something of a cross between Jeff B's terrific "Let's see some Postcards" thread and Vintageball.com's postcard gallery. This is a very narrow field, but I hope there is enough interest to sustain it long term as a hobby resource.
A few parameters: 1. Must be from 1900 to 1919. 2. Must depict a player(s) in uniform who appeared in the Majors at some point in their career even if the RPPC shows them in the Minors. 3. Must be a RPPC (easiest test is if dots appear under 5x magnification is most likely not a RPPC) also if unposted or the stampbox is visible it will likely have one of the backs shown at this website: http://www.playle.com/realphoto/photod.php 4. Must not be from a cataloged set such as Rotograph or Bregstone. 5. Preferably are "One Offs" which most RPPCs are. So without further adieu, here are a few of mine to start the showcase. July 16, 1914 Babe Ruth on the mound for his 2nd ML game. 1914-Fenway-RPPC-watermarked.jpg 1912 World Series Game 3 at Fenway Park. 1912-world-series-game-3-postcard-crop-Net-54.jpg 1912 Lee L. Stopple shot of Frank Baker in Galveston, Texas. Baker_PC.jpg 1914 Chicago Cubs barnstorming in Henry, Illionois. Note the bear cub mascot to the left of the batter and the ball in flight. 1914-Cubs-postcard.jpg Circa 1910 Hughie Jennings. Jennings RPPC 1910.jpg 1905 Pat Ragan while at Cornell College.

Art Thomason signed RPPC with the Lincoln Tigers in 1916. He had a cup of coffee in the major leagues with Cleveland in 1910.
