Vintage Romantic (?) Baseball Post Cards
 
Seeing a lot of these on ebay. Find them pretty cool in that the subject matter seems pretty damm salacious for the era. Assume this was considered pretty shocking at the time. Maybe someone can resuscitate these with the Kardashian girls and make a mint.

Indeed. I observe that she is what we would call "attractive" even by today's standards.

I have had this one for decades. I know for most the preference is to not be used. But In many instances the postmark or writing on the back offer first, a level of authenticity. And second a glimpse into how baseball was and is part of so many peoples lives. Postmarked August 1910.
I came across many reproductions over the years but found that although the sepia images were close the paper was a clear giveaway with the newer postcards on a Thicker paper that felt stiff in many cases.
