This went for big money, but was it real? Sockalexis Postcard
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
This postcard went for some pretty big money today. However, I was not thoroughly convinced it was authentic. I did a ton of research, including going to the library to read biographies, and was unable to come up with any credible evidence that Sockalexis played on the 1907 Bangor team. I found a single reference to him playing for Bangor as late as 1903, but not for any time after that. By all accounts I found, Sockalexis should have been a logger and back on his reservation from 1907 to his death a few years later. The only accounts I could find of him being involved with organized Maine League baseball after his stint with Bangor in 1903 were as an umpire. With the lack of a manufacturer being named on the postcard, I stayed away from it. What do you guys think? Last edited by packs; 09-03-2010 at 05:03 PM.
