Ever seen this 1886 baseball greeting card?
9 1/4" wide x 7 1/2" tall
Has anyone ever seen this card before? I found it about 20 years ago in a box full of old paper, at the Marin City Flea, about 3 miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. I probably gave a quarter for it. It appears to have a slight fold line down the center so I know it's a greeting card. But it's blank other than the images on the front. I used to use the image to copy and I'd mail it out to people as an example of the kind of bat I was looking for, as it's the quintessential 1880's bat...It's kind of a mystery to me I've never another example. It's actually a light green but didn't come thru in the photos. Below more shots
