Comments on what the set identification is on this postcard?
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...chpostcard.jpg |
Hi Frank
$ in Shield, I believe. |
Correct you are, Mike.
I think the Crose Photo Company made these, and I think they are designated PC765. I could be wrong on those. I recall seeing an SGC graded $inShield, and I thought the slip had PC765 on it. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...stcardback.jpg |
It's not Crose, it's Suhling Publishing.
There's is no PC designation. And I've seen SGC label these many different and inconsistent ways, except the correct one as Suhling Publishing of course. |
|
Maybe a few folks with $inShield graded can post so we can see the slips...
These folks said Crose. I don't know... http://www.vintageball.com/Crose.html |
Robert knows it's not Crose, he just needs to update his site. Crose was wrongly used in some guide years ago, that's where the mistaken id comes from.
SGC has no clue, the flips don't matter. |

Here is same postcard per SGC. No ID
However, Jeff is correct. It is Suhling. |
Fresh arrival:
|
Thank you both, Joe and Jeff. I think that PC765 isn't right, either. I think that's for the Dietsche postcards.
Maybe if we could get it right then the slabbing companies could figure it out. :) |
Only 3 in my collection

Suhling $-in-Shield
Hi all,
Jeff Prizner is correct. Suhling made the $-in-shield cards. I changed this info on VintageBall's 1909-1914 Player Postcards page in 2011 back when Jeff pointed out the error in the old Mashburn postcard guidebook. However, I wasn't able to change the actual page of these postcards because the file got corrupted and any updates I made would delete the entire page! I finally went ahead and re-built the page today (www.vintageball.com/suhling.html) and updated the old page (www.vintageball.com/crose.html), as well. I still need to add some more of the actual cards, but will do that at some point in the future... Robert S |

Have not seen this one ever auctioned off.

Pretty cool, does it fold out revealing more players?
|
sweet postcard!!! I have only seen one other (or is it the same one) in the 1991 Sotheby's Copeland auction catalog. Very sweet indeed!

Yes, it shows the entire team and the pink ribbon is factory too... Reminds me of the A35 round album where ancy ribbons are attached. Behind the flaps are a group photos of 18 team members arrange on both sides of a nine panel accordian strip. |

Here's a C.1908 Real Photo Postcard of Andy Oyler. Little Andy Oyler is famous for hitting the shortest (and muddiest) home run in baseball history (24 inches) on August 2, 1904 while playing for the Minneapolis Millers
|
Jeff, whats the story behind the homerun? No errors on the play?
|
Supposedly he hit the ball in the mud in front of home plate, nobody could find it, ran the bases and scored!

Postcard thread on the second page? Unacceptable.
Here's a cool series of 1911 Northwestern League Vancouver Beavers cards. Yes, that is a Beaver on the sweater. West Coast baseball stalwart Norman "Kitty" Brashear in the car in the first PC, making a fist (I hope), with Jim Thorpe behind him. JUST KIDDING re: Thorpe...relax ;) |
Very cool postcards! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for bringing this thread back to the front page (where it belongs)!!

This Bob Fitzsimmons is the 3rd card ever to surface from The Stein Co.'s pre-1907 run of boxers. By far the best too, as he is a HOFer and the other two are of a journeyman and a contender. A forerunner of the Max Stein PCs.

1875-1888 Postal Cards
13 Attachment(s)
These reach deep into baseball postcard history. Postal cards were a predecessor to postcards and private mailing cards. The 1875 Peck & Snyder is the earliest I know of with baseball content (two illustrations and ads down the right for balls, bats, uniforms). It was printed just two years after postal card use began in the United States in 1873.
The group of six that follows it below are from 1886, pertain to the Dover, New Jersey team arranging games with other local clubs - Roseville (Newark), Morristown, Hibernia (Rockaway Township), Hackettstown, and Rutherford - and are among the earliest of their kind. The fold-out from 1888 is especially interesting. Addressed and stamped, it advertises Boston horse-shoeing businesses The Hub Force and The Back Bay Force and includes a clever baseball themed pitch under the heading, "Play Ball!" The interior has an 1888 National League schedule in red ink at the top with all the players and their positions at the bottom. Ads along the sides state that more schedules can be obtained from either business location. |
