Question About Card for Player on 1904 Philadelphia Athletics

[hairysasquatch]

Hi, new member here - longtime member on Blowout Forums and when I asked this question there I was referred to this site.

I am interested to know whether (or how to best find out) if there was ever a card made depicting Louis R. Bruce, who played one season for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1904.

Some background information on Bruce from the UPenn Archives:

Thanks in advance for any help!

No is your answer but I found this:

Louis R. Bruce (1877-1968), D.D.S. 1904
Major Leagues: 1904 only. Debuted June 22, 1904, for the Philadelphia Athletics
Penn Teams: not on any varsity baseball team; captain of his class baseball teams
Position: outfielder/pitcher/second-baseman/third-baseman, bats left-handed and throws right-handed

Hey, thanks, I appreciate it. Is there some sort of database that folks use to search for these early cards?

Fan Craze was 1904, but Bruce is not in that one. I can't think of any other 1904 issues. I doubt he has a card. If he does, this is the right place to ask...Rob

Bruce's manager had a card in 1904. I would search "Philadelphia 1904" or "Connie Mack 1904" in the ebay sports section from time to time as well as the big auctions that come up. He could be found in an A's team photo from 1904. (not my card)
