I like Red Hindus

As long as Adam set a precedent that allows Japanese cards, I'll show this one. It's a postcard with a generic baseball scene, but what's special about it is the date. The postal cancelation dates it to 1891. Pre-war Japanese cards are either menkos, bromides, or postcards. This pre-dates all of the menkos and bromides, and, as far as I've been able to determine, every other postcard as well. It's the only copy I've ever heard of.

Intense!

Looks like a 1915 w-unc strip card?

I think it might be related to the cigar box that shares the same image. Might have been distributed with the cigars when someone bought one. I just haven't seen more than that one before.
