Mike Schmidt minor league postcard

[ldrunner27]

I've had this postcard of Mike Schmidt for over 20 years and can't find any info about it in terms of who it was issued by. Was it the Eugene Emeralds or Phillies? Any input would be appreciated!

Can you post a photo of the back?

Posting photo of back of card.

I showed the photos to a friend who collects postcards and he thinks its a George Brace postcard.

Thanks, appreciate you taking the time to look into it.

I'm going to respectfully disagree only because the vast majority of the Brace postcards were of Major League players and the photos were posed (not action) & taken in Chicago (either Wrigley or Comiskey), nor did he write the players names on the reverse.

This appears to be a postcard from a photographer by the name of Mel Bailey..

Here is an example of a couple early career Cal Ripken Jr. postcards he produced for comparison:

Thanks for the information, so it appears this was not team issued. Didn't realize that photographers would make post cards of their work.

Appreciate everyone's input.
