Looking for info on these Babe Ruth postcards
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all! I am new to your group and I'm hoping someone can help me. I bought a box of old postcards dates range from 1906-1941 and found these in the mix. Any info you may have about them would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Lisa

My gut says they're not period but if they are, finding him in a Dodgers uniform is really tough. I have this railway ticket:

I did find another one of these that sold several years ago and the only info that I got that I didn't know is that the original picture was taken by George Brace. The size of the postcard is 3.5x5.5 so it's pre 1970's

As I had said on the phone, anything pre 1948 would be more valuable. Anything in the 50s-70s, not valuable at all, generally. What did the one sell for several years ago?

They look like 1970's issued to me. Maybe TCMA issued? I also think it is odd that there would be 5 of them in one spot if they were original from the 40's or whatever.
Just my opinion.
Thanks,
Bob

I have looked at so many different websites and etc that I honestly don't remember what it was sold for Leon. I did figure out though that the picture was likely taken by Brace and Jim Rowe did put out an RPPC of this image but this one does not appear to be an original as none of the identifying markers match up at all. So I guess the only thing left to do is figure out when Rowe released the original postcard and then figure out who replicated it. Oh well, they're still kind of cool. Maybe something a young kiddo would like
