Great Stuff
 

Really like the Seattle card too.

Here's one that arrived today, very tough Shibe card.

images that tell a story
 

Some postcards tell a story that has nothing to do with runs, hits, or errors.

The first tells a story in its image alone. It speaks for itself.

The second reflects the itinerant life led by some barnstorming African American teams.

The third of Slim Sallee tells us some things about him.

The fourth is an iconic image of courage.

The last speaks for itself in the same way as the first, but says something entirely different.

holy crap, Jim. Is that written by Cy Young?


Edited to add: I can't find any Lula in relation to Cy, so maybe my eyes deceive me. And I know nothing of handwriting so....

Very cool card nonetheless. I have never seen another of the same image.

Charlie Young
 

Jason, per the 1940 census, Lula M. Young (to whom that postcard is addressed) was married to Charlie C. Young. But no matter, it is a very nice postcard, for sure.

Here's a RPPC of the 1907 Worcester Busters team with HOFer Jesse Burkett.

Mr. Dugdale was a tad large.

Great PC on Spider Clark.

Excellent.

Well, I was wondering if you had that postcard, Dave, and I guess you do...and that postcard of Bill James, Hap Myers and a shrunken down Rabbit Maranville is incredibly cool.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dave....Great stuff....Thank you for sharing!

I really love PC's. What a great thread, Jim: love your Boston PC's. Here are a few of my fav's.

Here's one that goes with yours, Max.

Wow, some great stuff in here guys. I'm just getting into postcards. It seems like a really fun niche within the hobby.

Hi Mark...One of the great things about postcards, there is always something new showing up and some many avenues to collect....and talk about rarity...there are less copies known of most of the postcards shown in the last couple of posts than there are Honus Wagner T206s available, with several of these cards being one of one known. It's a wonderful hobby niche with good guys involved.

Michael...we speak the same language, great stuff...I've been looking for the Speaker American Series after letting one get away from my collection a few years ago....and had never seen the Cady Underwood card, very nice! Thanks to a trade with a fellow board member I just added Cy Delivering the goods. Fun stuff.

Great stuff...lot's of one of a kind....The Babe...Never seen the Sox team card before.

Dont know ID on this. I see Palm Trees, might be Florida. Could be spring training. Or Cuba?n Would love any info anyone has.

Pinkerton Blank Bank

Clarke/Leach/Wagner Postcard
 

Postcard of Pitt Pirates circa 1908, Fred Clarke, Tommy Leach, and looks like Honus Wagner on the left.....nice image except for a little facial loss.

Here's one that hasn't been posted yet.

I don't think this one has been posted:

http://photos.imageevent.com/ineedan...-jefferies.jpg

that's because no one else has one!

That covers a lot of people.:)

I stand by my statement. :)

Someone out there has one. That's why I keep going to postcard/paper shows, garage sales, auctions, antique shops...et cetera. :D

yeah, me too. :(

Posted this in the June pick-up thread.

Babe
 

Babe Ruth and the "Medicine Man" (per the reverse). The watermark-like spot is in the negative.

I'm seeing postcards I once owned.:D

There are a lot of posts just leaving me speechless...WOW keep them coming.

Anyone have some ballpark cards, one of my favorites for you Chicago fans:

OK here's the card

Here's a "panarama view" of the "new" League Park in Cleveland. Measures about 5 x 31 inches, and does indeed have a postcard back. Condition is lacking, but I nevertheless was thrilled to pick it up recently. I think I'm going to have it framed, which will be a challenge. Sorry for the crappy, smart-phone photo.

Rob...Thanks for posting this card, I've only seen it one other time, it was meant to be sent rolled as opposed to folded, great item congratulations.

Real Photo PC
 

Buccos with Wagner...

Thanks, Jim.

While searching for other examples that had sold, the only one I was able to find was in a Leland's auction, maybe about 5 years ago. Is that the same one you referenced?

A few pennant winners:

Just stumbled on this thread, what a great collection of postcards, it was fun paging through.

One to add, the writing on the postcard is by Tinker's first wife, Ruby. I've never seen another example of this card. I have no idea about the show mentioned on the card.

Awesome postcard...never seen it before.

So many great postcards here- Tom, that Tinker is Awesome.

Here's mine...

Wow-that's a great Wagner postcard Michael. Cool autograph.

only 24.........
 

Does anyone know what caused Spider Clark's death at the young age of 24?

I'll add this one also - McComb's Dam Park - I'm guessing this is the park that became the future home of Yankee Stadium or the Park that still remains next to the demolished Yankee Stadium site.

Just Got This One
 

I don't usually venture into postcards but this one seemed really interesting. Carlisle Indians baseball game circa 1907. Jim Thorpe is on the field somewhere.

Tom C

Your welcome Jeff...enjoy!!

Here's a couple I got in the mail yesterday...

The second is a 1939 Chattanooga Lookouts Team Postcard that includes Kiki Cuyler. Another big thanks to James "Greenmonster" for the Cuyler postcard!

Thanks Jeff...enjoy, great card!!

More postcards
 

Here's my 47th baseball postcard from this set. Please contact me at SPORTINGOREGON@YAHOO.COM if you have any for sale or trade. Thanks.

That's an amazing collection! :eek:

More postcards
 

Thanks, Dan. The Murray came from someone who saw my collection and wanted to add it. Always nice when folks want to do that, and a labor of love for me.

Way more impressive than my one. :mad:

Post Card
 

Love this thread... Keep them coming!
Here are the 1908 Southern Association Champions - Nashville Vols with Confection Stamp (Guth Chocolates) on PC and featuring 9 or 10 players that made it to the show. T205 & T206 is represented well here -

1912 Olympiska Spelens PC
 

Thrilled to have picked up this Jim Thorpe PC from the 1912 Olympics:

http://photos.imageevent.com/derekgr...2%20Thorpe.jpghttp://photos.imageevent.com/derekgr...e%20_back_.jpg

Very cool Thorpe postcard, Derek. I am a Thorpe fan myself (I live 45 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Pa., and 90 minutes from Carlisle, Pa.) and have only seen copies of that postcard a handful of times. There was an unused copy of that postcard on eBay with an asking price of $2,500 or best offer for several months that just recently sold. I know in the past when I have looked up that postcard, there were only 2-3 of them graded on the combined PSA/SGC population chart.

That whole grouping with it was nice. I was watching it. I have quite a few of the pc's from that set showing Americans, but I focus on original photos of U.S. Olympians so I passed.

Hi guys! This is my first post on the forum so a little introduction is in order.

My name's Shane and have collected cards and stuff since I was very young. But alas when I became a teenager all my stuff was either lost or stolen. Well now I'm 34 and married now so I thought it was about time to start over again cause not much else gives me as much joy as collecting and talking to collectors. Anyways here is a postcard I just picked up,

Here's a 1910 Philadelphia Athletics Team Composite Postcard I got today, pretty cool because I haven't seen this one before!

Anson's Colts
 

Here is a follow up to Brad's post (back in April) of Cap Anson's Colts. This is a small postcard that I think has been trimmed. I picked it up because of the Anson connection (Cap is the portly fellow in the center, back row), but also because I think the player in the bottom row, right (name on his shirt) is Fred Wehrell who played for the Anderson Electricians (So. Carolina) in the 1909 Carolina Association. I have also included a scan of the 1909 Anderson team postcard.

Enjoy,
Mike

thanks Dan!
