February Pick-Up Tread

The Sockalexis is nice. Is that a postcard? Nice one, Ryan, can't go wrong with Cobb. I was looking at lot 113, the Ruth montage group with what I think was an e122 Walter Johnson. Looks like it has some break value. Their website is much easier for me to navigate past all the new stuff.

Yes, real photo postcard. This one (obviously) postally used, I don't love the cancel mark on the front but I do prefer used postcards, I love how they are located in time and space. (This one: Postmarked June 1907, Waterville, ME, with a mention in the inscription of Indian Island, where he grew up.)

There are a number of examples out there, I've seen 4 or 5, here and in auctions, and someone mentioned having a couple others. (Also: I never would have recognized this if not for posts about it here, so thank you net54!)

The gravestone pc is nice, I've never seen that one.
