SOLD - 1908 Wausau Lumberjacks RPPC w/ 3 MLBers
Extremely clear real photo postcard depicting the 1908 Wausau Lumberjacks of the minor league “D” level Wisconsin-Illinois league. Excellent condition with no visible faults. Back is written on, stamped, and postmarked. The PC measures exactly 3 1/4” x 5 1/4”, 1/4” smaller than “standard” postcards, but I see no signs of trimming and believe it was made this way. Lower right corner states “COPYRIGHT APPD FOR MAY 1908 BY J.M. COLBY, WAUSAU. WIS.”
The 1908 team featured the following Major Leaguers: Ward Miller - Outfielder, seated lower left (the nose is unmistakable). Miller had a productive 8 years in the big leagues, jumping from Class D Wausau all the way to the Pittsburgh Pirates the next year in 1909, also spending time with Cincinnati that season. With Cincinnati again in 1910, the Chicago Cubs in ‘12 and ‘13, then jumped to St.Louis in the Federal League for the 1914 and 1915 seasons. Finished his big league career playing for the St. Louis Browns in 1916 - 1917. Career .278 hitter in over 2,200 at bats. If his name sounds familiar, he is one of the key, tough cards to obtain in the T207 set. Also appeared in the 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack sets, among others. Frank Lange - Pitched for the 1910 - 1913 Chicago White Sox, winning 28 games while compiling a 2.96 era. Appears in the T205 and T207 sets, as well as Colgan’s Chips. Charlie Ferguson - Pitched in only one game for the 1901 Chicago Cubs, going 2 innings without giving up a run. That was it for his big league career. SOLD delivered, payment by PayPal F/F preferred.

Hi Raymond,
I do not know, as neither have as distinct of features as Ward Miller. I believe Lange is either in the top row, standing second from R to L, or in the bottom row, sitting on the far right. I don’t have any idea on Ferguson. Perhaps others with better facial recognition skills than me can weigh in! Thanks, Kris

Where did you find out that they were on this particular team?
Would that be listed on BBR?
