Guam, that's the name of the igloo across my street!

Found these the other day
 

A 10 pack of original 1921 Eastman - Kodak AZO ready to develop postcards for those RPPC's we love so much .

Love it! I've never seen that before. Thanks for sharing

10 Pack
 

thanks for sharing,,,really enjoyed seeing this

Few recent pick ups this year so far!

The fact that these exist should scare the bejeebers out if RPPC fans.

Not really. Modern fakes so far have been easily spotted and it's way way more easier to create a good fake of a traditional printed card.

Not saying rppcs collectors are exempt from fraud, but not any more than any collector of anything and less than the traditional baseball card collector.

Unused AZO PC backs have been out there and relatively available forever.

I've got an unopened 12 pack of Cyko backed postcard paper. (c1910)

What would this be considered?

Back side

Something that was made after 1950 and most likely a lot more recently than that.

Indecent

Here's something a little different and one-of-a-kind! A 1910 RPPC of the Equipe De Lacrosse National (Quebec) that includes Jeff Malone & Patrick "Paddy " Moran.

Paddy is the hall of fame goalie who played hockey for the Quebec Bulldogs NHA teams of the early 1900's. Jeff Malone is the brother of the more famous "Phantom" Joe Malone. There are so few printed images of Jeff, happy to land this one on ebay a few weeks ago!

1904 Montreal Royals
 

Looking for this RPPC of the 1904 Montreal Royals. Yes, that's my man George Gibson 2nd from the right in the back row.


Let me know if you've seen one.

1950 Hornell Dodgers minor league team photo RPPC, with future big leaguers Don Zimmer and Charlie Neal. This was Zimmer's first stop in professional ball.

Billy Sunday PC
 

On the way to the game ..

Here's a 1932 Buffalo Bisons Postcard of Ollie Tucker

Here is a circa 1915 RPPC of Boston Red Sox catcher Hick Cady. I picked it up several months ago, but never posted it. It was taken during Spring Training in Hot Springs Arkansas.

Can anyone help me definitively date this one?

Now that I like!

Nice Kevin, love the background!

If only you had a similar rppc of one of Hick's teammates!

Thanks Jeff. Maybe even his battery-mate.

A couple of favorites
 

Marsans and Mendez...

Marsans PC
 

That Marsans postcard...wow! What a beauty.

Thanks! It may be my favoite postcard from a visual appearance perspective! Wish I could get some more from the "multi-sport" set... you can see the figures all around of other sports... Do not have a checklist, but always wondered what other ones were "out there"!

Wow! Great postcards Al! I like those more than the Clowns that Ryan posted a few years back. This entire thread should be made into a book!

WOW... that is what I consider this one. !!!

Kevin, here is a Pinterest photo that states it is of Ruth in Spring Training in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1915. It appears the structure in the background is the same as in your Hick Cady postcard.

Jim - thanks for input. I have actually seen that image before and, yes, it was taken at the same place and time as my Hick Cady postcard. I am just trying to substantiate how both were pinpointed to 1915. There are a couple of other RPPCs from the same "series" that exist as well.

Kevin and Jim I love the Hot Springs photos! I have mentioned before that these were taken at Majestic Field on the south end of the trolley line here in Hot Springs.

At the north end were Whittington Park (also called Ban Johnson Field) and Fogel Field. At the peak of Spring Training in 1911 there were eleven teams here plus over 100 other players.

Majestic Field is still a field sitting next to the Boys & Girls Club and the great part of the story is that house still sits atop the hill across the street. It is now painted white with bright red and blue trim.

Mike - I am not meaning to hijack this thread, but do you know anything about the tornado from June of 1916? Did it, in fact, destroy Majestic Field as this postcard suggests? If so, do you know how long it took to rebuild it?

1915 University of Nebraska fraternity team. I was able to identify the kid with the Ulysses uniform on just by searching for "Ulysses" in the online U of Nebraska yearbook repository. Charles Angell was his name.

Was able to score this postcard (Non Eastern Exhibit) of Cobb. Thinner paper stock and more black/white than the other version(s).

Nice Cobby! Here's another beauty that was delivered today, a 1927-40 RPPC of the House Of David Baseball Club photographed with the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis.

Postcard has a 4 square AZO back (1927-40), if anyone can help me get a more accurate date for this postcard that would be great!
Jeff

postcard w/ Joe Louis
 

^^
Now that's cool! Nice score Jeff!

Love this recent pickup
 

Alejandro Oms

Wow, very nice Al!

Just sick Al, congrats on the pick-up!!

Gotta be after 1934. Louis went pro around that time and became a big deal quickly. Before that he'd not have been of interest enough to get a whole team to take a photo. If I had to guess I'd say 1937 or so when he won the title and became a star.

Thanks for the help Adam! I'm going to catalogue it as a C.1937 Real Photo Postcard.
Jeff

Al - that postcard is lights-out! Congrats!!

Oms
 

I inadvertently ended up in a Hughie Jennings "ee-yah" stance when I saw the Oms postcard.

Wow. Great pick-up!

I found my avatar!

I really don't consider myself a postcard collector, but I've been wanting this postcard for awhile now. Decided to go to an antique show today and stumbled across this. It is stamped and postmarked 1910.

Happy, yet sad, because the hunt is over.

Jantz, great PC! No need to be sad, because you now get to begin a new hunt!

Al, that is gorgeous. Please tell us more about it: year, type, where you got it, etc. As a postcard collector, i love it, but add to the fact that I am of Cuban descent, and I am captivated by it.

1906 White Sox (Thanks Mike E!)

from a board member...trimmed but neat rppc..

If I am reading this right, you had your avatar pic first then found the card sometime later?

If that's the the way it is, that is a very cool story, imo. :)

Flask
 

Here's a recent pickup for me----
In handwritten cursive on the sidebar----"Do you recognize the catcher"
Also, a hand painted addition of a flask (or whiskey bottle?) in the back pocket of catcher + a tipsy chair

Here's a nice 1932 Charles Denby Cigars Postcard of Billy Herman. This is considered his "RC" if you're into that sort of thing!

Happy to be reunited with this fine postcard!

Yummy!

One of my favorite Exhibits.

I LOVE that Ruth Exhibits. Find me one nicer card of Ruth than that. It's also pretty low pop when compared to even his 21 exhibits (3x more rare).

That's correct.

I used that postcard as my avatar for a few years now, but didn't actually own one. Finally found one this year. Now the hunt continues for the second version.

Jantz

Here's an odd one, a RPPC of the 1889 Washington Nationals Team with Connie Mack & Hank O'Day that was printed sometime between 1939-1950.

Here's a nice one, a C. 1907 Real Photo Postcard of the Manitowoc Baseball Team. Famous Negro League Pitcher George Wilson is sitting in the front row, first player from the left.

Great stuff! That Ruth is fantastic.

JB, nice RPPC of the 1889 Washington team, but I'm curious as to which player you believe is Hank O'Day. I don't think he is in this photo, as whomever wrote the players' names on the front of the PC did not identify O'Day as being among them. O'Day was sold by Washington to New York on July 26, 1889, hence I suspect the photo was taken later in the 1889 season. Also, "Honest" John Morrill, who apparently is not in this photo, was released by Washington on July 6, 1889, further suggesting this photo was taken later in the season.
Val

Postcards are ideal display pieces.

Here's a nice 1936-40 Real Photo Postcard signed by Irving "Bump" Hadley in vintage fountain pen. Also has the George Burke stamp on the back.

Jim - That is an awesome display, I love looking at framed pieces. Where does it hang then? The fielding Cobb you have in there may be a bit much for it though, I could take it off your hands for ya. ;)

Great display!

Thanks Steven, it hangs in my office.
The Cobb Fielding is yours..... just send a Rose Company Bender my way!

The first part of line 2 made me jump...

You get to enjoy your cards every time you enter your office, the way it should be. Awesome!

Very nice Jim. Nice to see postcards not in graded holders. Some newly acquired cards are in there too, some from the BST here on the board. I like the Ullman Matty the most.

Just picked up this Polo Grounds postcard:

Just picked this one up. 1910 World Series Makaroff postcard

That's a cool one Dan, never seen one of those before!
Jeff

I was surprised to see it listed in the Standard Catalog as I'd never seen one before I picked it up.

Here's a nice, clean 1907-09 Dietsche Cubs Postcard of Mordecai Brown.

Just picked up this one...humorous...

Especially since old Cy was a notorious booze hound

Here's a cool one! a 1939 RPPC of players marching down main street in front of the baseball hall of fame. Greenberg & Dizzy are at the far left and I'm pretty sure that's Stengel in the middle

Here's another beauty, a C. 1910's Navin Field Postcard. This one is packed with writing on the reverse and has a Beech Nut Sticker on it for some strange reason. Thanks Jeff!

Here's one of my favourite hockey postcards, a real nice 1912-13 Real Photo Postcard of the Quebec Bulldogs championship team loaded with hall-of-famers! Included in the image are Joe Hall, "Phantom" Joe Malone, Patrick "Paddy" Moran & Tommy Smith. Postally unused and real clean!

Nice hockey RPPC, Jeff. I'll add a basketball one in here.

1906 Baker University featuring Phog Allen the Hall of Fame basketball coach of the Kansas Jayhawks.

Here's a couple more beauties!

1937-38 New York Americans RPPC. Includes Hap Day, Red Dutton, Ching Johnson, Earl Robertson, Sweeney Schriner & Hooley Smith

1938-39 New York Americans RPPC. Includes Red Dutton, Earl Robertson, Sweeney Schriner & Hooley Smith

A crease but not the usual folds....approx 13" x 3 1/2", 1909 triple fold...Wags 3rd from the right....

Posting an image of this fine postcard for Ryan. Looks great, glad you like it!
Jeff

Won this postcard from the recent REA. Wood beat Tesreau 4-3. Am assuming Giants are in the field but need to put it under the microscope to be sure.

Amazing David! You have a great eye for postcards.
