Default Thanks!

I found the Doc Powers Day a couple of years ago at a small postcard show. The dealer knew it was a tough one, as he had several high end cards.

Over the years he's had the Powers card, the Rotograph Chesbro I posted earlier, a 1912 Red Sox team card, a San Francisco Seals card that I was beaten to by the guy who literally got to his table a minute before I did, and this great card:





This is the 1910 pennant winning Roanoke Tigers of the Virginia League. Many of these players were featured on T209 Contentnea and T206 cards.

The card was sent by a player, presumably shortstop Eugene Newton. The message on the reverse mentions that the team barely topped the league and was postmarked in September of 1910.

Love seeing that Roanoke PC. I'd be willing to bet that the photographer Kidd from Roanoke produced a few cabinet cards or RPPCs of the players that are floating around there somewhere. Would be great to find a few.

Default Roanoke vs Chattanooga ? After Championship ??

Awesome PC! Love the info on the reverse, and of special interest to me is why would a Champion team from Virginia League after a long season, head down to Chattanooga of the Southern Association for 5 games late in September!? Perhaps the team wasn't going and the player was going to jump in and play with the Lookouts (switch teams & leagues all the time back then...) or get a look for the following year !?! It's interesting to me as it gives us insight into how things were back then... In our time, when you win the title, the season is over. I double checked and the post mark was Sept 12th, so I thought it might be a left over pc, sent around spring training time as 2 out of league opponents would shake some rust off, but no... Its definitely a great timeline piece. Love it. Thnx for sharing !

Harry Duker was the park manager of Recreation Park of the Vancouver team. He wrote the 3 postcards below, either signing them or pointing to himself with an arrow. All of them are addressed on the reverse and signed as well.

I love the strong image on this trimmed RP PC of WaJo that I picked up at the recent Chantilly Show (thanks again Mike). This pose of WaJo holding a bat (WaJo was a very good hitting pitcher) is very similar to his pose on his E253 Oxford Confectionary card - I wonder if both photos were taken at the same time.

What is on the other side of this postcard...this is very similar to a 1939 Postal First Day Cover.

It is similar indeed, the other side is blank, but the stock is very thick like a postcard. I will have it at the National for examination. It may well be an envelope cut down, but it certainly does not appear to be. It is of the same design as the multitude of FDCs or more aptly commemorative covers.

Looks interesting...it does indeed appear to be made of cardboard and not paper like an envelope would be.

That was one of my favorites too, Val, among the small photos, AND has the p/c back. It couldn't have ended up in a better place.

Here are two postcards I received recently:

1918-1930 Knights Of Columbus Real Photo Postcard with Jimmie Dykes & Connie Mack. This postcard is signed in pencil "Compliments of George W. Crowley". Who is George W. Crowley? Any Knights experts here?

1951 US Goodwill Tour of Japan Italian Colour Real Photo Postcard with Joe DiMaggio & Lefty O'Doul

Default 1911 St Louis Cardinals

These postcards depict members of the St. Louis Cardinals following the July 11, 1911 derailment of a train on which they were traveling. Fourteen were killed and 47 were injured. The players assisted in the rescue and are shown on a wrecked car. They were taken moments apart (note the left hand of the player seated at the far left).

The postcards belonged to two players involved in the incident, the top coming from Hall of Famer Roger Bresnahan's collection, and the bottom having been mailed by Grover Lowdermilk to his wife 11 days after the wreck. (Both are identified in the key below.) Lowdermilk's message was stark: "After the wreck. I will get off if we come through Odin. Don't know yet whether we will come over the B&O or not. We were a fine looking bunch after that wreck."

More details and real photo postcards of the wreck are at http://www.sportingoregon.com/p479278548

Standing: team secretary Herman Seekamp (unverified); Wally Smith; Ivy Wingo; Jack Bliss; Grover Lowdermilk; Bob Harmon; Ed Konetchy; Rebel Oakes. Seated: Arnold Hauser; Rube Ellis; Lee Magee; Steve Evans; Roger Bresnahan.

I have yet to hear an explanation why this obscure player is in a set that otherwise has all Reds.

I don't believe this card is part of the Orcajo Reds set. Orcajo put out many postcards of celebrities during the same time period as the Reds cards were issued, I think Joe D just happened to be issued as one of those celebrity cards.

I've had a Jack Dempsey Orcajo, others can be found of musicians and other interesting people of the time period.

A recent National pickup that caught my eye.

If anyone has any information about this postcard such as team or age, it would be greatly appreciated.

Jim, according to Lemke it is part of the set. But what you say makes sense.

The Prineville v. Bend rivalry was probably fierce. Any team from Crook County was instantly skeptical. Got the same rap around here, former name of Ellensburg was "Robber's Roost".

Love the Portland Giants PC, some of them are almost recognizable after further research . As always remarkable PC's sir.

Do you believe those PC's of the Gophers were in Minnesota or after they moved to the PNW?

Thanks! The Oregon game shown above was part of a 1909 tournament in a place called Prairie City, as iconic a name for an old west town as you'll find. Below are the five I have from the tourney. $300 was awarded for first place, $200 for second, $100 for third.

The c. 1911 Portland Giants (above) is the same team that Jimmy Claxton played for a few years later. The team with Claxton is shown below (he's in the bottom right). Some of the c. 1911 players are identified here: http://www.sportingoregon.com/p75660...5ea5#h52845ea5 . Any additional information on players is welcome.

The Gophers image above was snapped in 1908 when they were the St. Paul Gophers, as confirmed by the uniforms and players shown.
