Thank you, Jim! Yes, there are VERY few cards of Buck O'Neill, all of them late 1940s Cuban issues. All extremely scarce. I was fortunate enough to acquire this team postcard from a fellow board member, and one of the hobby's top Cuban card collectors.
Now as to Bud Fowler cards... Not so much! I believe there might be ONE extant example of The Page Fence Giants team postcards, dating from the late 1890s. Thus, HOF collectors like myself probably have to be content with modern commemoratives like the 1994 example that I posted. So far, that seems to be the earliest - Fowler doesn't appear in the Laughlin sets issued in the 1970s. I could be wrong about there being anything else, made prior to 1994. I would be curious as to what others know about his cards?
