Let's see your early real photo postcards!
This card isn't identified but I believe it to Bob Ewing in spring training during his time spent with the Reds. I think it dates to about 1905...
By the way, does anyone here happen to have this card of Tom Downey? |

I'd be doubtful that the PC is 1905 purely based on the back. The AZO 4 triangles up is usually very close to 1910. It has a divided back as well which would preclude it from being 1905. Just my two cents. Cool postcard, regardless.

Thanks for the info. It has to be somewhere between 1902-09 because that's when he played for the Reds.

Sure. It looks like him to me as well. Just saying that it's likely at the later end of that range than the beginning. 1907-1909 seems more likely to me. Doesn't mean the picture wasn't taken earlier but my experience is that they were printed somewhere close to when they were taken (generally).

Oops. I've been told it's Jim, not Tom. Wrong Downey.

Pre Red Sox rookie - Smoky Joe Wood with the 1907 Hutchinson Salt Packers squad of the Western Association. Looked like a young child amongst men.
