Jim - Thanks for the information!!!

There are six in the set. Here are the other three. Can anyone ID these?

Answering my own post. Thought the first one looked familiar. There's a Red Belt with the same image (of Jimmy Collins). Robert S. identified the Red Belt PCs a while back: http://www.vintageball.com/RedBelt.html

The card depicting two players with one sliding is the same image as the Morgan "Red Belt" series card, that one is obvious that it depicts HOFer Jimmy Collins.

I'd love to know the identity of the player on this one...I have obtained a few of these cards stamped with Gagnier SS Lincoln...I'm assuming that Ed Gagnier bought up a bunch of these embossed cards and had them stamped so he could give them out.

Great stuff everybody! I was looking closer at the batter and catcher PC and noticed a "N Y" across the chest of the batter. Either Highlanders or '05 Giants? Interesting how all of the other cards in the set have been made generic with no insignia or other identifying details, except for this one. I found a photo from '08 Hilltop Park that has some similarities, but may be stretch.

I believe all of the other postcards in the set have been identified. The Batter and Catcher is the only one left. If any one recognizes the photo, setting, etc. please jump in. I included a 1908 Hilltop photo (knowing that it is NOT the same, but very similar in idea) with the "N Y" on the batters uniform. Probably a stretch since the issue is cataloged as 1906, assuming 1905 photos. Hopefully, this is a starting point to ID the last postcard in the set.
