Show Your Minor League Postcards
The recent thread about the PCL postcards that recently showed up on ebay inspired me to start a thread on minor league postcards. We haven't had one in a while and IMO they are some of the neatest items in our hobby.
Show away http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...colnteampc.jpg 1908 - Chief Johnson pictured sitting down with the batboy in front of his right arm. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...lincolnpc4.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...lincoln3-1.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...pclincoln4.jpg Here is an odd one....it's a generic card that was stamped with Gagnier (Ed of Federal League fame)...I have two different variations of this one. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...l/gagnier1.jpg |

Dennis, get in line buddy! The 1907 Atlanta PC is my second favorite baseball PC ever, someday Tom will have to sell it to me!
I am a bit biased but my favorite is the following 1909 Atlanta oversized PC of Roy Castleton below (shown w/ regular sized PC for comparison, also I should note the Leibhardt PC I pictured above is also a bit oversized). As you can tell I collect all things Roy Castleton which makes the team PC you showed something I really want, Castleton is also pictured in the 1906 Youngstown PC above as well (back row far left). http://starsofthediamond.com/09castletonpc.JPG -Rhett |

Although printed with blank backs, the Crowley's Milk set of the 1940 Binghamton, New York "Triplets" (an Eastern League franchise) was sometimes distributed to Crowley customers as a postcard, as shown in scans. The Crowley's set will be featured in a mini-article in this month's issue of the Old Cardboard eNewsletter (to be distributed later this week). --Lyman
