Not a card per se but interesting. Some here will be familiar with a fairly scarce but widely seen "Chicago White Sox at Royal Gorge" postcard. It's a colorized view of all the players outside their train along a famous river gorge and bridge with Big Ed Walsh and etc. They were on their way west for spring training. Bunch of people here had a lot of fun about a decade ago when I posted mine and asked folks to ID some of the players. A wild month ensued with people intent on IDing every single player! Fun.

Anyway: this inspired me to find and purchase--at a state railway archive--an original black and white photo from the same shoot in a slightly different spot. One of a kind. Here it is. Feel free to ID players!
