Well, yeah. If it's a postcard with Lefty Williams on it, it's worth a whole heck of a lot more to a lot of people. It's an awesome postcard either way, but way more awesome with Lefty Williams on it.

Here is a Lefty Team Issue I once owned which is within in a year or so of the date of your PC. I think the middle 2nd row guy is Lefty.

I'd look to the Spalding and Reach guides to see if there are any matches for that team photo.

If I had to hazard a guess (which is impossible given the photo clarity on the postcard) the person "most similar" to Williams in my opinion is the guy 5th from the right in the back row. Again, barring finding that exact photo in a periodical with players identified it will be nearly impossible to definitively prove he is on there.

Paul - I agree with you that it is not the 2nd row middle guy. After further reflection I have figured out that it is not the Top row 5th guy either, so you Stop it!

Drum roll please.... It is the bottom row 5th guy (Guy in the center) That is Lefty Williams! (He's easy to gloss over b/c he has his head tilted down, but I know that face. That is Lefty. Compare to the 1914 B&W photo I posted. It's a match.
