T5 Pinkerton mystery cards
I recently picked up this Home Run Baker card and was wondering if anyone had any insight into exactly what it is.
 It’s not an unmounted T5 as it’s printed on thick cardboard stock (vs thin photo) and notice the wide borders (vs the skinny ones that T5’s have, shown below).  It’s also not a Pinkerton w530 since it’s a real-photo card and not a printed one. The Baker card was actually used as a postcard by someone (although blank backed) and was mailed on 10/30/1911. I can post a scan if needed but it just says something along the lines of congrats on the Phily win (The A's completed their World Series victory a few days prior on Oct 26th). I have also recently seen one other very similar card of Topsy Hartsell…  (posted with owner's permission) So, anyone have any ideas? Some sort of new uncataloged Pinkerton issue? Or a production photo on cardboard stock that was used to create T5’s perhaps? Measures 3 5/8” x 6”. Thanks!

We're sure.
That was what I was expecting when I bought it - but not the case.

Hi Jeff and Jeff
I am certain the Baker and Hartsell are some kind of uncatalogued Pinkerton subset. At this point in time, I am theorizing that it is just made up of A's. I have a Cy Morgan and another card, which I will look for tonight. The Morgan that I have is a real photo card, but is not a detached photo from a T5. I bid strong on the Hartsell on ebay, but didn't get it. Jeff Mohler

Morgan and Oldring
Here are scans of my two. I guess the cat is out of the bag now.
