Ethan, I’m confused. You PMd me saying you had a 15 Red Sox team PC with Ruth you were interested in potentially trading. And now you’re saying you don’t own one as it’s out of your reach? What am I missing here? Or are these two different cards? Admittedly, I’m not a PC guy, so just trying to understand.

The price on the Topping PC is crazy. I have a Cobb Brush postcard, wonder what that would go for now?

The Brush is a nice one. There are actually less known Brush Cobbs than Topping. There are 7 Topping Cobbs graded (3 psa 4 sgc), and there are only 5 Brush (2 psa and 3 sgc). The Brush is not a catalogued set, while the Topping is (pc 773-1). Makes no difference to me. The Brush set is extremely cool and unique. Here are mine:

Nice finds Dan. Any idea of the players or location for the top one? I dig that image.

Just acquired this RPPC and it is an instant period favorite. It is likely from the late teens or twenties. Anyone have more information on it? I wonder whose hands those future Louisville Sluggers ended up in!

That particular line of postcards is generally known as Morgan Stationary or Red Belt cards. The location is The Palace Of The Fans in Cincinnati. I’m not sure the players have ever been identified on this particular card.
