Other sports
I've seen postcards of pre-war players hunting, such as Cy Young. There are postcards of guys playing golf, such as Ty Cobb or Babe Ruth. There are ads where players endorse sporting equipment, such as Chief Bender on a skeet-shooting ad or Johnny Evers, or Honus Wagner, endorsing other sports equipment from their own sporting good companies. All of these are considered collectible and have value. A postcard or pre-war collector card of any sport is valuable if it has someone famous on it.
A lot of the great baseball players were great athletes so they tried other sports. Jim Thorpe, for example, was good at almost any sport.
