Let's see some postcards

[Andrew1975]

Thanks, Dan and Jeff. Amazingly, found the postcard on Ebay (along with a second postcard sent to Nuf Ced - both auctioned together in a lot). The second postcard was sent to McGreevey from an individual named Joe Burns, a known/documented member of the Royal Rooters. That postcard, sent from Hot Springs in March, 1917, also contains some baseball content. Burns writes that "the Sox are looking fine".

Postcard thread on the 3rd page? Unacceptable.

Here's an RPPC of LA Angels catcher Harry Waring, accompanied by a 1910 LA program interior page which uses the same image. Program cover too.

Very cool PC, David. Here's my latest and greatest pick-up, which I shared in the March pick-ups thread:




The image is the same as a Cabinet I once owned. The clarity on this one is out of this world, IMO.

Those are amazing, Erick! Who's the third man?

Jeff Dickson was an American boxing promoter in Europe in the interwar period, elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2000. This British 1930s RPPC shows him with fellow HOFers Thil and Brown.

In 1943, Capt. Jeff Dickson was killed in action over Germany while serving in the U.S. Air Force during World War II.



This 1940s PC shows HOF trainer Chris Dundee and his stable of fighters, including HOFer Ken Overlin and Georgie Abrams, who Sugar Ray Robinson said had given him his toughest fight.

Thanks Raymond.

He is identified as Dick Mayes. Says he played with Pirates in 1880's. Also on back of mine it says he was still playing on 3/4 century team at the time of this photo!

Here is a link to one of the only other copies of seen, from REA Fall 2017

That Minoso is great!

Until I found these I'd never even seen prewar Japanese boxing postcards:
