Let's see some postcards

Names of the players were written by Graham's 1906 teammate Lew Carr.

Dan, I love the giant baseball in the horse and wagon postcard...

Found this one of a 1919 UNC Baseball player. Name is written in lower right corner. I believe this is part of a set of the team all posed individually in front of the same fence.

Love to see others from this set.

I saw one of these on ebay recently - maybe that's the one?

Yes, it's the one recently sold on ebay. I found another image of one other member of the team. The Capt. Powell.

They appear in the 1920 UNC yearbook of the 1919 baseball team and 12 photos were taken.

((And yes...I know the post is 3+ year sold))) My great grandfather served on the USS Wyoming, from 1913 to 1915. I have just recently discovered boxes upon boxes of letters, and postcards of his from approx. 1909 to 1919. And in 1913, there is a letter in which he states that they were in Cuba, on training mission. So, I couldn't help but to inquire, as it would be something I would love to have, if available, knowing that my great grandfather could possibly be aboard. Please let me know! Thanks!

Need help with player ID

Matt that is from the 1908 Topeka team. The odd thing is Cuthbert is not listed as being part of that team. He's not listed the previous or following year either. I have the 1908 team postcard and he's not on it. I have a few other players from this team and would be interested in it if you want to sell it.
