1900's Embossed Post Cards NY Giants Question??

[WillowGrove]

Good eyes! I can add that the card of the player sliding is the embossed version of the Jimmy Collins card from the Red Belt series.

These cards were also used by the Lincoln, NE minor league team circa 1907...I have found two so far.

Edited: nevermind - just spotted this image in the earlier post (bad eyes)

Dan, was that embossed PC made from an actual image of the Nebraska player, or did they just produce stock embossed cards for each position? I assume the latter, but you know what they say about 'ASS U ME'

I would like to think they made them for the whole team, but I've only found two and they're the same player. I keep searching though.

Weird how things stick out to you. I knew I had seen that pose before, this is 100% the photo in the lower right in the group photo above, and the player is George Winter of the Boston Red Sox, I have the original on ebay right now!
