Ullman "Art Frame" Postcard questions

[Archive]

Posted By: Glen V

According to the 2007 SCD, the Ullman postcard set consists of 12 members of the '05 Champion NY Giants. They are dated 1906, although they could have been made as early as October '05.

I just picked up an Ullman postcard of the '06 Champion Cubs. Obviously this couldn't have been made until late in 1906, if not '07. Any guesses on why a NY company would add a Cubs team picture to their set of NY Giant players? Or why they would produce the Cubs card well after the rest of the set (unless they waited until the late in the '06 season to make the Giants postcards, which would seem strange too)?

Are there other postcards that haven't been reported to SCD? Wouldn't it seem logical that there would be a team picture of the Giants, or maybe even some individual Cubs players???

Also, the "art frame" is either brown or green. Is there any significance to that? Different printing runs/years? Is each player found with both color frames? Just curious. Thanks in advance for the responses.
