Question about 1907-09 Dietsche Postcard

[Northviewcats]

Hello Everyone,

I was at a antique auction today and saw what appeared to be half of a 1907-09 Dietsche postcard featuring a conglomeration of the fifteen players in the 1907 set. It looked like the same photograph that is in the 1907 Dietsche Poster, but reduced to the size of half a postcard. The other half of the postcard was missing. The back of the postcard had been glued into an album and I could see the beginning of someone's name and address written on the back.

The vendor, Kirk Kovacs (Kovacs Sports), didn't seem to know much about it. He thought someone had cut the card to save the picture of the players. The vendor was curious to know what image would have been presented on the other half of the postcard. I didn't see any listing of a player composite in the Standard catalog, or on the Old Cardboard site.

Maybe it is a later printing to commemorate the 1907 Dietsche set.

He had a very hefty price of $495.00 on it and said that he had several people ask him about it at card shows (including Nationals) but no one was able to identify it.

I'm sorry that I didn't have a camera with me to take a picture, but I would be interested in knowing if anyone has seen or collected a postcard like it.

Thanks,

Joe
