Help with ID on Real Photo Postcard
3 Attachment(s)
I strongly believe this real photo postcard shows avid fisherman, and pretty good ballplayer, Honus Wagner in action. Hard to mistake his distinctive features. Agree or disagree? Thanks!

Agree
|
That really looks like Wagner. But why make a postcard of Honus Wagner fishing and why not identify him anywhere on the postcard?
|
Many real photo postcards were printed individually or in very small quantities to be sent to only friends and family, not for mass distribution or part of any kind of series. This is likely a unique postcard.

Looks like Wags to me! What's really funny is that the seller described it as Ty Cobb!
|
I always look at the object in question before I read what the conjecture is and I instantly thought Wagner.
|
I never realized he was a one legged ball player! Makes his accomplishments even more amazing! :D:D:D:D

What in the heck is he sitting on and how on earth would someone stand up and get off of it once done fishing?
Oh, I think it looks like Wags as well.......... :) |

A one legged MLB player.....
That was something. And he lived right down 380......not far from me. From Wiki.
Monty Franklin Pierce Stratton (May 21, 1912 – September 29, 1982), nicknamed "Gander" for a trick pitch he developed), was a Major League Baseball pitcher.[1] He was born in Palacios, Texas, United States, but lived in Greenville, Texas, for part of his life. His major league career ended prematurely when a hunting accident in 1938 forced doctors to amputate his right leg. Wearing a prosthetic leg, Stratton played in the minor leagues from 1946 to 1953. His comeback was the subject of the 1949 film The Stratton Story, in which he was portrayed by Jimmy Stewart. Quote:
