One to add, the writing on the postcard is by Tinker's first wife, Ruby. I've never seen another example of this card. I have no idea about the show mentioned on the card.

Awesome postcard...never seen it before.

So many great postcards here- Tom, that Tinker is Awesome.

I'll add this one also - McComb's Dam Park - I'm guessing this is the park that became the future home of Yankee Stadium or the Park that still remains next to the demolished Yankee Stadium site.

I don't usually venture into postcards but this one seemed really interesting. Carlisle Indians baseball game circa 1907. Jim Thorpe is on the field somewhere.

That's an amazing collection!

[bbpostcards]

Thanks, Dan. The Murray came from someone who saw my collection and wanted to add it. Always nice when folks want to do that, and a labor of love for me.

Very cool Thorpe postcard, Derek. I am a Thorpe fan myself (I live 45 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Pa., and 90 minutes from Carlisle, Pa.) and have only seen copies of that postcard a handful of times. There was an unused copy of that postcard on eBay with an asking price of $2,500 or best offer for several months that just recently sold. I know in the past when I have looked up that postcard, there were only 2-3 of them graded on the combined PSA/SGC population chart.

That whole grouping with it was nice. I was watching it. I have quite a few of the pc's from that set showing Americans, but I focus on original photos of U.S. Olympians so I passed.

Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum so a little introduction is in order.

My name's Shane and have collected cards and stuff since I was very young. But alas when I became a teenager all my stuff was either lost or stolen. Well now I'm 34 and married now so I thought it was about time to start over again cause not much else gives me as much joy as collecting and talking to collectors. Anyways here is a postcard I just picked up,

[jb217676]

Here's a 1910 Philadelphia Athletics Team Composite Postcard I got today, pretty cool because I haven't seen this one before!

[Michael Peich]

Here is a follow up to Brad's post (back in April) of Cap Anson's Colts. This is a small postcard that I think has been trimmed. I picked it up because of the Anson connection (Cap is the portly fellow in the center, back row), but also because I think the player in the bottom row, right (name on his shirt) is Fred Wehrell who played for the Anderson Electricians (So. Carolina) in the 1909 Carolina Association. I have also included a scan of the 1909 Anderson team postcard.

Enjoy,
Mike

thanks Dan!

I contemplated bidding on the Des Moines card...glad you got it. It gives me a good idea what I might have to pay if a Lincoln team photo with Cicotte comes up.

Trimmed, but still a postcard:

[seattlerainiers]

1913 Northwestern League Spokane Indians with Stan Covaleskie, Swede Risberg and Ten Million.

1905 Cleveland Horner composite.

Cool PC of "home of the Polar Bear". One just wonders what inside was like? Were cards developed there?

Here's a 1908 Pirates Vignette postcard of Howie Camnitz
