Ty Cobb 1907 rare rookie postcards - Their origin stories told

I'd love to see a picture of the jumbo floral horseshoe postcard!

Also, I saw that LOTG just sold a Tiger team RPPC with that pose postmarked September 8, 1907, so the team photo was from a little earlier than I thought.

JC, I'm glad to host the party, I just wish I belonged to that club!

Makes sense that the litho team postcards were produced after the real-photo one. Nice catch Jim.

Im with you Jim. There is hope we will both have a chance to acquire one in the future. 4 cards have been discovered over the last four years making the population 6 now. Hopefully 2018 will bring yet another new one to add to the low population.

Jim,

Here is the Jumbo Floral Horseshoe postcard I mentioned earlier...

They must have had huge mailboxes in 1907.

Terrific oversize floral horseshoe! What is the back story on it?

I can't see the oversized photo ! Now I see it. Great photo, thanks for posting. Love Detroit items.

If anyone can find a type one of that photo I'm all in.

Kevin, for your list here is the earliest mention of the Dietsche set I can find. It is from October 2, 1907.
