and another somewhat generic rppc..

Nice Leon, I wouldn't classify that as generic, Reyes put out a really great looking postcard series of individual Chicago Cubs players too.

Would love to see some of the single players from this series. I can only imagine the breathtaking clarity. Here is one not as clear but with some cool content...and it's a double size postcard to boot...

Here are a few Reyes postcards Leon, enjoy!

Don't know if I ever posted this one, but just in case...

Love a girl who doesn't mind to get a little dirty! If I had a time machine, I'd take her out and make those dimples come out! Great card!

Here's a 1920 Real Photo Postcard of an exhibiton game between the Chicago Cubs and the Kerrigan Tailors. Featured in this postcard are Presidential Candidate Warren Harding & Grover Alexander (fourth from left, hand on hip).

Postcards are ideal for a framed display.

Cool display piece

+1 Very nice.

Ya' can just hear the great one, with his low, deep voice uttering those words.

and a new but old generic rppc with a game in action...

Extremely rare postcard series by photographer Lee Stopple. These are the only two I have ever seen but perhaps others are out there somewhere...

Jeff, those images are great!!
nice work

well...those sure don't suck!

nice pickups.

DS

Ummmmmm....HOLY SHNIKES!!! Where'd you find them?

Congrats Jeff. Glad that you were able to pick both of them up. Those have always been two of my favorite postcards out there - especially the Baker. Great, great pose.

Matty not too shabby either......

Looking for George Gibson RPPC's
'33 Worch Cigar
'08 Pirates Vignette

Thanks, each was tucked away in two different collections, my goal was to unite them. Took about 6 years :D

1950s RPPC:

I've seen the San Fran and the LA team. Never seen the Sacremento team before. Dingman made some great postcards back in the turn of the century!

Here's a toughie: HOFer Jack Dillon's Bar:

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...%20Bar%201.jpg

Per cyberboxingzone.com:

Dillon was a tough, hard-hitting, aggressive attacker who moved well and possessed an abundance of stamina; He was considered by many to be a smaller version of Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion; Dempsey, who had never seen Dillon fight, once asked "Who does he fight like" ? "You" was the reply. Charley Rose ranked him as the #2 All-Time Light Heavyweight; Nat Fleischer ranked him as the #3 All-Time Light Heavyweight; Dillon was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1959 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995

A few in the mail recently....the team is postmarked 1938..and am guessing the other is around 20-30 yrs earlier...

Nice cards Adam and Leon. Never seen a Ross Studio PC before. Leon, stop buying postcards please..

Postcards is our friends .

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! I may (or may not? depending on my personal collecting status / motivation) have a sh!tload - non-MLB / identifiable minor league batch of postcards - coming soon to a Net54 BST market near you - and others!

:D

DS

Any Canadian based teams?

Any Lincoln, NE?

Not that I know of, but...never say never! - send me a PM as a reminder, and should they surface, we'll talk / PM

Anyone familiar with this postcard? It might just be the only Polo Grounds postcard from this era I haven't got and I cannot find it anywhere. Any ideas?:

Andrew, here is a link to a similar version of the same postcard without the added airplane.

For those without a worthpoint subscription the card sold for $125.

Thanks, Dan! Wow, not sure I've seen that one either. Cool :cool: .

...postmarked 1911...

..

This is my first RPPC. I love the action pose, the wide-open scene, the old car in the background, everything about it.

Two questions for the experts: 1) Any idea of the date? 2) Does anyone know what kind of car that is?

Thanks in advance.

Bryan, according to a postcard website that stamp area that says 'azo' with 4 triangles dates from 1904-1918. The split back typically means after 1909 (I believe) and the catcher's mitt looks 1909+ too. The car seems like 1915 but I'm just using my instincts there.

I'd say your card is 1914-16. But it could be 1910+ too.

Hope this info somehow helps.

Peter

Looks like a Model T Ford.

Here are a couple of postcards I just received:

• C. 1910 Case Motor Cars Postcard with Barney Oldfield & Joe Tinker
• 1936 RDM Studio Real Photo Postcard of Joe Cronin (Minty Fresh Condition!)

Thanks to Peter and Herb, much appreciated! Model T came to mind but I don't think this one quite matches, there is a spare tire and a few other things that don't look quite right.

Vintage cars and postcards two of my all time favorites . Love it .

I looked up old, 1900 cars but this is the best I could do.
This may be it but the roof is down so it is hard to tell.

You might have to take this one to an automotive museum, Bryan?

A new but old RPPC....and "Hey you...guy in the middle, turn around for Chrissakes!!"

witness protection program? :D

Worch Cigars.. Never owned one until I read a thread about them in here which I think Tim started.

A little off thread here, but after looking at Jeff's and Bryan's cool postcards with Automobiles in them I thought this would be cool as well. It's the only News Service Photo I've ever bought but it just looked cool. To keep on topic here I would love to find a postcard with the same image and I would pay "market price" and then some for it! ��

cool photo...

and another RPPC picked up today...
http://luckeycards.com/postcard.jpg

Just picked up a nice local postcard Omaha 1915 with Billy Sunday

The car is much larger than the Model T touring sedans of the era. I'm no car expert and it's hard to be certain from the pic but it looks a lot like an EMF touring sedan c.1911-1912. The company was renamed Studebaker in 1913.

Good ole Studebaker...my first car (amazingly) was an Avanti II, which was a spin-off for the best car that Studebaker ever produced, the Avanti.

This is an oversized PC (about the size of a sheet of paper) for Slapsy Maxie's bar in Los Angeles. Nominally run by light-heavyweight champ Maxie Rosenbloom, it was really a cash cow for its silent owner, gangster Mickey Cohen. The cariactures show patrons engaged in all sorts of scandalous behavior:

Here is a RPPC of HOF boxer and Black Sox bag man Abe Attell:

I think you've got it - thanks Don!

Al Bonner 1912 San Francisco Seals
 

My Grandad. Postcard he sent to his mother September 11, 1912.

Wow! So cool! So cool, in fact, that I shared it with my wife who proceeded to say, "that's so cool". Love it!

Anyone know any details about this Hank Greenberg postcard? Can't find a thing except a different pose with the same back.

Greenber
 

Cool action shot on that Greenberg PC.

This looks like a Jim Rowe postcard made from a George Burke photo negative. Any PC with that Kodak stamp box on the back would have been produced after 1950. So while the image is likely from the 30's to 40's, the postcard wasn't produced until likely the 60's-70's. I believe the writing on the back that shows "Greenberg" is consistent with many other Rowe PC's I've seen before.

Good discussion on Rowe postcards here:

I am with Derek....very cool that that postcard is your Grandad !!

And here is another generic rppc with some bleacher bums....

Home Run Baker
 

Thanks REA...

Great pick-up on the Wanamaker postcard, Mark. :) I was an underbidder on that item. I always love seeing obscure/rare Philadelphia items.

1909 University of Nebraska player H.M. Prouty

1934 Blank Back Photo Card from Cole & Co.

Postcards sent by Dots Miller to a relative during stops from the 1911 season. He apparently sent a lot of postcards during his career and the family has more in an album, but these I got from an auction.

The one I really like is the top one from Chattanooga. The Pirates worked their way up to Cincinnati for Opening Day on April 12th. One of the stops for an exhibition game was April 7th in Chattanooga, and Dots was able to get a postcard out in the mail before that game.

Got this 1937-39 Orcajo Postcard of Joe DiMaggio on ebay for a steal!

My Cobbs:

The two best Ruth images (next to Path Freres) on any card in my opinion. And while the exhibits gehrig has seen better days, it is a pretty special card.

Nice Cobb collection!

Nice collection there Orlando. Sweet stuff!

Jee wis Orlando.. Just drop the Mic now!

Can't believe I've never posted in this thread. Link in signature.

Many who read the board, and are members, have never posted.

Another recent rppc pick up....

http://luckeycards.com/ppcunc1910s.jpg

Picked up this Geo. Brace PC of Bob Gibson. Judging from lack of Zip Code in the address, I am guessing early 1960s?

http://photos.imageevent.com/exhibit...ibson%20PC.jpg

Picked up this sweet Rose Co. postcard of Frank Smith from the BST. Thanks Rob!

I bid on this postcard on Ebay then realized it is very likely a fake item.
Luckily someone else didn't realize the same and outbid me!

http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/C8kAAO...IG/s-l1600.jpg

Got a couple postcards yesterday:
• 1908 F.J. Offermann Postcard of George Schirm (Buffalo Bisons)
• 1927 Real Photo Postcard of Oscar Roettger (Brooklyn Robins)

Picked up this funky 1908 Scranton Miners RPPC of Hippo Vaughn in a trade. Thanks Derek!

It only took five weeks to get there, but I'm glad that Mr. Vaughn arrived safely! You'd think you lived in Guam given the delays of the Canadian postal system.
