Wonderful card...congratulations Jeff....

I forgot I had this one:

Had that one for a number of years, Dan. WaJo was always one of my favorites. Glad to see it went to a good home via the auction route.

And Thank You Phil for letting it go as I Love it! Its my favorite WaJo. This and the Lajoie were huge for me as that Lajoie is one of my favorite HOF Rookies. I know I'm selling alot of my vintage but these are 2 you will NOT see on the BST!

Thanks Jim.

The Novelty Johnson is a nice card, may be the only from the set where I prefer the pc796 counterpart though, closer-up cropping of the image and they got his name right. Both are great cards though!

Max Stein PC758:

M101-1 Lajoie, Dan?

Here's a C.1925-33 Real Photo Postcard of Mickey Cochrane. Thanks greenmonster!

Very cool postcard, Jeff. My research shows that it's either 1929 or 1930 based on the uniform style, same both years.

Thanks Phil! The reverse has an AZO stamp box with the four squares so that's how I got my dates, thanks for narrowing it down for me!

Very nice, reminds me of your Grove.

That's funny you mention that Jeff, I was just looking at those two postcards side by side!

Congratulations Jeff....good to see that your enjoying the card and that it arrived in good shape.

Thanks Jim, you always have some great postcards for sale!

Yes thats the one

more postcards
 

A few new ones...
1914 E&S Publishing Co. Joe Jackson (take 'em as you find 'em)
1914 E&S Publishing Co. Frank Chance (in his last year in the majors)
1906 Shreveport Pirates, Southern Association (the earliest team pc I've seen from that league)

1906 V.O. Hammon Publications, Chicago #320 Postcard

I was born in Aurora IL, so this postcard has special meaning to me. It depicts a "Bunch of Baseball Fans" standing outside the Beacon-News Building (the town's newspaper published continuously since 1846) getting updates on the 1906 World Series between the Cubs and White Sox. There was probably a chalkboard in the window where ticker-tape updates were relayed and posted for all to see.

Keeping with the Chicago theme, here's a C.1910 RPPC of Comiskey Park. Thanks again James! (aka the "greenmonster)

1911 NWL Batting champ
 

It's been five days since a post on this thread. Too long.

Here's 1911 Northwestern League batting champ Art Bues looking confident at Yesler Way Park in Seattle. Postcard was mailed from Seattle by Bues back to his hometown.

What's that kid doing in that basket?

Pretty sure that's me a few weeks ago after my birthday night celebration, damn paparazzi. :mad:

Birthday Yakking
 

You should have waited until you were at least age 15 to start birthday-celebrating like that, Jeff.

Great postcards...I love one of a kind real photo postcards.

.

Got these two in the mail yesterday...Olson's Cherokee team. I'm running out of Nebraska Indians cards I need so have expanded my reach to all Native American teams. The second one is some University of Nebraska bloomers.

Here's what I won from the recent Brockelman & Luckey Auction:

• 1936 RDM Studio Real Photo Postcard of Rick Ferrell (autographed)
• 1938 Real Photo Postcard of Bobby Doerr (George Burke stamp on reverse). This postcard is not signed by Doerr.

Thanks Leon!

It's been a good month! Here's a tough 1912 N.Y. Giants postcard with that Matty guy, thanks Richard!

He didn't sign it but I don't care because I've wanted one for a while...

Great Doc Powers Day postcard Robert, that never comes up for sale.

I've been looking for that PC for years :eek:

Nice find Robert, you lucky dog.

may be my new fav...

http://photos.imageevent.com/bicem/v...p%20Lajoie.jpg

That McGlynn Bregstone is awesome. Love the double handled broom in the background.

Agreed.

By the way, the two RPPC's arrived today Jason, thanks again!

Thanks!
 

I found the Doc Powers Day a couple of years ago at a small postcard show. The dealer knew it was a tough one, as he had several high end cards.

Over the years he's had the Powers card, the Rotograph Chesbro I posted earlier, a 1912 Red Sox team card, a San Francisco Seals card that I was beaten to by the guy who literally got to his table a minute before I did, and this great card:

http://www.vintageball.com/1910-Roanoke-PC316.jpg

http://www.vintageball.com/1910-Roanoke-PC-Bak.jpg

This is the 1910 pennant winning Roanoke Tigers of the Virginia League. Many of these players were featured on T209 Contentnea and T206 cards.

The card was sent by a player, presumably shortstop Eugene Newton. The message on the reverse mentions that the team barely topped the league and was postmarked in September of 1910.

:eek:

Robert,

I'm glad you live in a different town. Nice PCs.

Rob

Love seeing that Roanoke PC. I'd be willing to bet that the photographer Kidd from Roanoke produced a few cabinet cards or RPPCs of the players that are floating around there somewhere. Would be great to find a few.

Roanoke vs Chattanooga ? After Championship ??

Awesome PC! Love the info on the reverse, and of special interest to me is why would a Champion team from Virginia League after a long season, head down to Chattanooga of the Southern Association for 5 games late in September!? Perhaps the team wasn't going and the player was going to jump in and play with the Lookouts (switch teams & leagues all the time back then...) or get a look for the following year !?! It's interesting to me as it gives us insight into how things were back then... In our time, when you win the title, the season is over. I double checked and the post mark was Sept 12th, so I thought it might be a left over pc, sent around spring training time as 2 out of league opponents would shake some rust off, but no... Its definitely a great timeline piece. Love it. Thnx for sharing ! :cool:

Harry Duker was the park manager of Recreation Park of the Vancouver team. He wrote the 3 postcards below, either signing them or pointing to himself with an arrow. All of them are addressed on the reverse and signed as well.

Cpl Joe Dimaggio at your service!

My latest from LOTG Auction, a sweet looking 1926 Cardinals RPPC!

WOW....some amazing cards above. Congratulations gentlemen!!!

Nice Jeff, matches the earliest card appearance for Chick Hafey too.

I love the strong image on this trimmed RP PC of WaJo that I picked up at the recent Chantilly Show (thanks again Mike). This pose of WaJo holding a bat (WaJo was a very good hitting pitcher) is very similar to his pose on his E253 Oxford Confectionary card - I wonder if both photos were taken at the same time.
Val

Babe Ruth
 

Here's one that will be in the Fall 2014 B & L Auction, real photo attached to the postcard.

Jeff, thats a sweet PC! Up until I saw that one, my fav Team PC was the Cardinals Block Bros but I think yours surpassed it!

Cool image Val

What is on the other side of this postcard...this is very similar to a 1939 Postal First Day Cover.

It is similar indeed, the other side is blank, but the stock is very thick like a postcard. I will have it at the National for examination. It may well be an envelope cut down, but it certainly does not appear to be. It is of the same design as the multitude of FDCs or more aptly commemorative covers.

Looks interesting...it does indeed appear to be made of cardboard and not paper like an envelope would be.

That was one of my favorites too, Val, among the small photos, AND has the p/c back. It couldn't have ended up in a better place.

one of these days I'll send this in for grading:

1910 South Bend Bronchos, Max Carey
 

Max Carey, back row, third from left.
I like the ad-back on this postally-used card.

Big Koney
 

A Big Koney Trifecta.

Here are two postcards I received recently:

1918-1930 Knights Of Columbus Real Photo Postcard with Jimmie Dykes & Connie Mack. This postcard is signed in pencil "Compliments of George W. Crowley". Who is George W. Crowley? Any Knights experts here?

1951 US Goodwill Tour of Japan Italian Colour Real Photo Postcard with Joe DiMaggio & Lefty O'Doul

Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Here's a C.1930. RPPC of old Cy Young and his buddy Jay Abbott

This thread has been dormant too long! Here is one of my favorite postcards, Crawford is by the pole and Cobb is second from the right.

1932-33 Montreal Maroons RPPC

Nice Jeff!

Tough issue... Monarch Typewriter Collins

http://photos.imageevent.com/bicem/m...%20Collins.jpg

Thanks Jeff, that's a nice Monarch Collins you have there! My hockey RPPC's are getting lost on the other thread so I'll post them here. See you in Chicago!

Just happen to be in Toronto right now ( North York ) visiting relatives. Love the Montreal card . This is still my 2nd favorite thread of all time .

1911 St Louis Cardinals
 

These postcards depict members of the St. Louis Cardinals following the July 11, 1911 derailment of a train on which they were traveling. Fourteen were killed and 47 were injured. The players assisted in the rescue and are shown on a wrecked car. They were taken moments apart (note the left hand of the player seated at the far left).

The postcards belonged to two players involved in the incident, the top coming from Hall of Famer Roger Bresnahan's collection, and the bottom having been mailed by Grover Lowdermilk to his wife 11 days after the wreck. (Both are identified in the key below.) Lowdermilk's message was stark: "After the wreck. I will get off if we come through Odin. Don't know yet whether we will come over the B&O or not. We were a fine looking bunch after that wreck."

More details and real photo postcards of the wreck are at http://www.sportingoregon.com/p479278548

Standing: team secretary Herman Seekamp (unverified); Wally Smith; Ivy Wingo; Jack Bliss; Grover Lowdermilk; Bob Harmon; Ed Konetchy; Rebel Oakes. Seated: Arnold Hauser; Rube Ellis; Lee Magee; Steve Evans; Roger Bresnahan.

A teenage Edd Roush and teammate -- this image appears in The Glory of Their Times.

Greg

Awesome Greg, had only seen the team card until now.

I picked this up on the BST last month to add to my Shag Collection.

I have yet to hear an explanation why this obscure player is in a set that otherwise has all Reds.

I don't believe this card is part of the Orcajo Reds set. Orcajo put out many postcards of celebrities during the same time period as the Reds cards were issued, I think Joe D just happened to be issued as one of those celebrity cards.

I've had a Jack Dempsey Orcajo, others can be found of musicians and other interesting people of the time period.

Plus he dated Marilyn, he can be in any set he wants.

A recent National pickup that caught my eye.

If anyone has any information about this postcard such as team or age, it would be greatly appreciated.
