That's a tough one Jeff, I like them all! But if I had to pick it would be these three postcards:

Just picked this up from a fellow net54er the other day. You can see a couple farmhouses way in the distance, just a nice slice of Americana summed up on this one

1910 Greenville RPPC, that gives us all slight hope that a similar Greenville card from 1908 may exist.

1914 RPPC of George Kelly and Tiny Leonard when they were both in the Northwestern League (Victoria and Portland, respectively). Is it just me, or is Tiny Leonard separated at birth with actor Bill Paxton, aside from the bald head?
One day I'll dig in and find out why they both shaved their heads.

Jeff - love that Maranville PC. It's one of my favorites of all time.

Seattle - very interesting George Kelly PC. How do you come up with the 1914 date on the George Kelly / Tiny Leonard bald-head PC? I would love to learn about the back story on this.

The Kelly/Leonard postcard came from George Kelly's estate many years ago. That's Kelly's writing on the front. I suspect it is from 1914-1915 because those are the only years that Kelly and Leonard were in the same league (Northwestern), and also because I acquired the two 1914 NWL team postcards below from the Kelly estate at the same time. Kelly is in the Victoria card (with Jacinto Calvo!), and Leonard is pictured with the Portland Colts.

Let me contribute to the best thread of all time! Here are a few postcards I received this week:

• 1905-13 Real Photo Postcard of Rube Sellers
• 1907 Providence Grays Postcard that includes Hugh Duffy (middle, black pocket on sweater)
• 1910 Lynn Shoemakers Postcard that includes "Sliding" Billy Hamilton (middle, wearing suit)

Looks like Murray has his hat on backwards..........predates Griffey Jr. a bit, huh?

Fresh arrival:

Thank you both, Joe and Jeff. I think that PC765 isn't right, either. I think that's for the Dietsche postcards.

Maybe if we could get it right then the slabbing companies could figure it out.

You would think, all they need to do is look at the back that I posted that links Suhling and the $-Shield logo. Most are labeled 1908 Cubs/White Sox postcard.

Thrilled to have this George Gibson The Rose Company Postcard that arrived today.

This postcard depicting Lefty O'Doul and Japanese HOF manager Shunichi Amachi has a commemorative postmark dated 11/7/51 from Narumi Stadium, where the Seals played that day.



First one of these I've ever seen:

Hi all,

Jeff Prizner is correct. Suhling made the $-in-shield cards. I changed this info on VintageBall's 1909-1914 Player Postcards page in 2011 back when Jeff pointed out the error in the old Mashburn postcard guidebook.

However, I wasn't able to change the actual page of these postcards because the file got corrupted and any updates I made would delete the entire page!

I finally went ahead and re-built the page today (www.vintageball.com/suhling.html) and updated the old page (www.vintageball.com/crose.html), as well.

I still need to add some more of the actual cards, but will do that at some point in the future...
