Philadelphia Athletics composite with Mack, Bender, Collins ca.1910

[bn2cardz]

I just purchased this large composite of the Phil. Athletics. I know this same image is used on a post card, but this is 16.5" x 13.5". Does anyone know anything about these.

Were these a display piece at stores?

On the back is written something in pencil that looks like "Oak Good Grocery Mart". I do plan to get photos of the back, but don't have any right now.

This image was the basis for a beautifully made pinback, about 2.5" in diameter. I nearly went blind trying to read the names of the players beneath their picture. The reduction in size from poster to pin was so great that the first few times I looked at the pin I didn't realize there were names beneath their pictures. I always wondered about the basis of the pin. What a great discovery!

I didn't know about the pin. I did find what you were talking about:


I only knew about the postcard:

Kind of looks like a notebook cover to me.

At 16"x 13" that is highly unlikely.

It doesn't have to be for standard writing paper. Could be some kind of slate? The grocery store notation on the back is why I mention it. Doesn't seem to be a display, unless it looks like maybe a stand was torn off the back.
