Nice Dave!!!

[Bicem]

How many HOFer's can you find?

[seattlerainiers]

The Grays Harbor County corridor had a thriving timber industry 100 or so years ago, and was a hotbed for baseball. So much so, that the professional Washington State League existed from 1910 to 1912.

This real photo postcard of Pearl Murray has long been one of my favorites images/postcards.

For reference, Chehalis, WA is about equidistant to Seattle and Portland, OR. Also of interest, Fielder Jones was player manager of the 1910 Chehalis Gophers, only four years removed from his famous Chicago White Sox "hitless wonders".

Wicked funny. You guys would have killed in vaudeville.

[Bicem]

This is the extent of my knowledge about vaudeville...

[bbpostcards]

A little vaudeville announcement from Mike Donlin and Mabel Hite that he sent to Portland's manager Walter McCredie.

More awesome PC's from some of the PNW's best collections. Thanks Dave and Brian, but please save some good regional material for the rest of us, haha

[sb1]

A couple in our upcoming auction.......

1918 Moline High School Basketball Team PC w/ Baseball HOF executive Warren Giles. This was the year before he started his baseball career as the elected president of the Moline, Illinois, Plowboys baseball club.

[bnorth]

A couple cool post cards I picked up from a fellow member.

[pokerplyr80]

I don't know if this is technically a post card, but it's post card sized.

[bcbgcbrcb]

Very cool, Derek. Of course, never seen that one before......

[jb217676]

... I thought you guys would get a kick out of this 1912 Frank Patrick (Hockey HOF) RPPC.

The story behind the postcard is that the PCHA Vancouver Millionaires team was being chastised by their fans for not putting out enough effort. After Frank Patrick took a beating in a game, he had his photo taken and a postcard image made to show the fans that the team was in fact willing to do whatever it took to win. He had over a dozen stitches and bandages when this photo was taken!

[Exhibitman]

Yes Larry come over to the dark side.

[h2oya311]

An oversized PC, but a PC nonetheless. Despite the large size, someone really wanted to know what was going on inside Scully's brain! All anyone has to do to find out what's going on up there is to listen to him talk...and you still can if you desire...crazy!

At any rate, who would have ever thought that there was once a Cal Abrams Fan Club?

1951 Dodgers Broadcaster's PC w/ Vin Scully and Red Barber:

[Laxcat]

Picked this RRPC up at a Fort Worth show. Not sure on the year since it isn't postmarked. thought it was cool. Looks like a guy that wanted to be a ball player.

[Exhibitman]

Heavyweight champ Primo Carnera and his personal armpit sniffer.



hey, it was the Great Depression...

[jb217676]

Here's one I've never seen before, a 1907 Toronto Baseball Team postcard of Fred Mitchell. Go Jays!

[T206Jim]

While technically not a postcard itself, I thought you guys might like to see an original Rotograph postcard store display. There are more photos on the new thread I posted.

[slidekellyslide]

Awesome postcard rack, Jim!

Zack Wheat! 1910 or 11

[h2oya311]

great stuff on this page! Love it! I really like that Z. Wheat card. I know there's at least one collector on this forum who is drooling right now!!

[mzm55]

[jb217676]

Nice Moore! Here's a 1908 General Photo Co. postcard of the St. Louis Browns. This team shot includes Bobby Wallace and that silly Waddell character. Thanks Jeff!

[Leon]

Great stuff guys, lots of eye candy. Here is one shown in another thread but it really belongs here...1909 Indian team

[docpatlv]

[slidekellyslide]

Good stuff fellas...I've not seen that Pirates team postcard before, that is awesome!

[HRBAKER]

Thanks Jeff! Who's gotta Plank??

That Usk, Washington Native American team PC is awesome! My brother lives near there in Conconully. To call Usk remote is an understatement, part of the Kalispell Reservation if I remember correctly. Great PC's everyone.

[kdixon]

Yep I love that Wheat.

[asphaltman]

Always have liked these and glad to get an example to keep for a type

[Leon]

This one boomeranged back to me from SGC un-holdered, from my first collection stuff, as "More Info Needed". They should have called but at least I got to keep it for my current collection .

[phlflyer1]

Not sure if one has been posted yet on this thread but heres a blank Rose Postcard.

[h2oya311]

One of my new favorites, courtesy of a fellow board-member. Thanks Blair!

Great postcard, Dan!

Cheers,

Dan,

here is another shot of the Tama team, perhaps a year before or after

Several of the same players.

Cool. I recognize the background in the photo, mine came from the same seller.

Posed "action" shots of Negro Leaguers are particularly scarce. On the left is Andrew Williams in 1918. Charles O'Neill, also in the Negro Leagues during that era, is very likely the player on the right. More information on them, along with other Negro League ephemera, can be found on the website below. Also a thank you to the sellers and to the folks involved in helping to research these images.
