Let's see some postcards

[Andrew1975]

Thanks, Dan and Jeff. Amazingly, found the postcard on Ebay (along with a second postcard sent to Nuf Ced - both auctioned together in a lot). The second postcard was sent to McGreevey from an individual named Joe Burns, a known/documented member of the Royal Rooters. That postcard, sent from Hot Springs in March, 1917, also contains some baseball content. Burns writes that "the Sox are looking fine".

Postcard thread on the 3rd page? Unacceptable.

Here's an RPPC of LA Angels catcher Harry Waring, accompanied by a 1910 LA program interior page which uses the same image. Program cover too.

Very cool PC, David. Here's my latest and greatest pick-up, which I shared in the March pick-ups thread:




The image is the same as a Cabinet I once owned. The clarity on this one is out of this world, IMO.

That Minoso is great!

Until I found these I'd never even seen prewar Japanese boxing postcards:

I know this is not pre war but how about seeing some postcards from recently like the Bill and Bob's, Ford Motor Tigers, Dormand's and some of the other beautiful work done by the likes of Doug McWilliams, Barry Colla and maybe others? Move me Leon if this does not fit here.

A couple of recent postcard acquisitions to contribute to this thread!

1908 “Our Home Team” foldout postcard of the Detroit Tigers.

[Kris19]

And a 1907 New York Giants featuring the fine portraits of Carl Horner. I’ve only seen one other, in a Heritage auction in 2009:

The New York Highlanders version was shown here:

All components of this intricate mailing card are present and intact.

You have a great eye for rare and under valued postcards Kris. How can you go wrong with the 1908 Detroit Tiger team!!! Do you have any other teams to go with it like St Louis?

[Kris19]

Thanks JC! No, only Detroit at this time.

An interesting aspect of this postcard is that despite a stellar 1907 season, Cobb was not yet established enough to warrant his own panel. He shares one with Red Downs. To say their careers were headed in opposite directions is an understatement.

[BeanTown]

Our Home Team postcards. They came with different colored front panels.

[Crossfire]

I believe it is from New York, maybe even Cooperstown area.

[Zan]

Anyone have any info on this postcard? Just won it on eBay and would love to know if there was a cross promotion between MLB and Dodge.

[slidekellyslide]

It was just Dodge and the Tigers, not all of MLB. Great card and relatively rare.

Thanks for the info. Similar to the standard catalog for baseball cards, is there a similar type of reference for postcards? I would like to see what else is out there for Tigers team cards in the 30s.

[ocjack]

Don't recall if I've posted this before. Back is blank postcard format and someone has written "Christ School Team 1911."

Happy New Year to all you boxing fans! For my last one of the year:

Nice Thorpe and Native American Indian collection! Thanks for sharing them.

[runred41]

You bet! Been getting these and other Thorpe memorabilia for close to 20 years now...just now starting to share with others what I have...I’ve posted a lot already on the Jim Thorpe thread. I collect other early Native runners also just a bit and see that you collect Nebraska Native items...I’ve actually keeping an eye out for Nebraska items. Will PM you if I run across anything.

I have some nice Lewis Tewanima and Amisoli Patasoni photos in my Olympic photo archives. Also some of the native Hawaiians.

[runred41]

Sure would like to see those Olympic items..I’ve posted some of my Olympic items on the Jim Thorpe thread along with other Thorpe items. I’ve got a few Tewanima items but they are are to come by...always looking for more.

[runred41]

Forgot about this one..I have 2 so can show front and back at same time.

Can someone post a link to the Thorpe thread?

Here is an RPPC of Elmer Busch from Carlisle along with a 1922-23 type 1 photo of Jim Thorpe-Joe Guyon-Elmer Busch-Pete Calac as members of the Oorang Indians.

[runred41]

Excellent items you have! I’m still trying to get a photo of Thorpe with Oorang to go with my postcards. One will come along someday! If you will go to the ‘search’ drop down at the top of this page and type in Jim Thorpe it will take you to the thread.

I thought these all came autographed?

Not all were autographed. I wrote Terry Fox about this set. He said that Ford grabbed a bunch of players in Spring training, took them to a golf course with the cars already in place. Ford gave the postcards out as promotional items and gave some to the players. I always wondered why Kaline and Cash were not part of the set.

[runred41]

Following is a postcard of Andrew Sockalexis at his home in Old Town, Maine. His older cousin was baseball player Louis Sockalexis . Andrew was 1912 and 1913 Boston Marathon runner-up and 4th place in Marathon at 1912 Olympics..one of the top distance runners in the world at the time..died of TB at the age of 27 unfortunately.

Jeff, great job on starting the second most popular thread in Net54 history so far! I think your Brush Cobb is my favorite of all the postcards you originally showed in the first post. Do you still have it?

I've had this postcard of the Polo Grounds for a long time and I've been trying to convince myself that it pictures Mathewson is on the mound. The note on the back dates the game to Aug. 1913. The Giants played 14 games at the Polo Grounds in Aug. 1913 with Mathewson pitching in 7 of those games. What do you think?

Chapman?

Tried magnifying? Great PC either way.

[Kris19]

Love that RPPC, Jim. Dibs if you decide to sell it! Does the scoreboard offer any clues? I tried blowing the image up, but cannot make out any of the matchups and it does not appear any scores are posted. The pitcher's set position looks Mathewson-like, but without scoreboard clues, I doubt you'll ever be able to prove it. Good luck!
