Love the postally-used PCs with baseball content, particularly if they are to and/or from a team member.
The 1909 Seattle Turks Northwestern League card was sent from future major leaguer Lee Magee, and references the championship medal presented to the players by the mayor of Seattle at the game that day. I'm lucky to have one of those championship medals, and have included pics.
Magee was later banned from baseball, a precursor to the Black Sox scandal. It's a lesser known but interesting gambling story from that infamous era, and not surprisingly, involves Magee's teammate Hal Chase.
The 1909 SF Seals card was sent from J Cal Ewing, on of the original founders of the Pacific Coast League, and an early owner of the Seals.
