The postcard was unused. Only writing on the back was a dealer's notes in pencil naming the teams and the red herring that Babe Ruth played for the Orioles (though Bam would have been ten years old at the time). Also have a quick note from the seller stating circa 1905. The rest is semi-educated conjecture. Very tantalizing to speculate who the other players are, or even that it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility that the throw to first could be coming from Gibson himself.
