Here are a couple of more recent pick-ups............

I picked up Rube in a trade with a fellow N54er...thanks, Pat! Always nice to add a Sovereign!

Geno my old virtual friend, we go back a long time but for your sake, I sure do hope you realize that the Rube Manning you received from Pat is not a T202 card.

As a sidebar, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but for the past couple of years I've had a saved postcard search on My eBay. Actually, since I'm practically opening-up my inner soul to you guys, I'll also admit that sometimes I search the postcard section before I hit the baseball card section. Okay........I'm feeling a little bit better now!

Here are my pickups:

Always fascinated by interracial players from the pre-war card era. By chance does anybody recognize the team on the uniform logo ("S")?

And finally, I just love this pic. I'm always amazed at how close the infielders and outfielders played during the early part of the pre-war card era.

Hey Iggy, cool pickups. That integrated team is the Nebraska State Prison team. I've had some images of them in the past along with images of the warden (large white dude on right) posing with other groups from the prison. You can PM me if you want and I can send you the other images I have.

Here he is on the right of this band photo. Warden WT Fenton.

Good to here from you, and nice postcards!! I still hunt down the occasional T202, but have moved into Sovereigns as well. Keeps me busy!

Take Care,
Geno

Couple of neat Photo Postcards.... 1904 & 1908

1. First is Indoor Ball Team State Champions "Co. F" associated with the Military out of Walton, New York. The back stamp dates it to 1904... Still trying to hunt down info on these guys. I really like the Uniforms!

2. 1908 Eastman College Football Team out of Poughkeepsie, New York. Seems to be even tougher to find info, but I did find the 1909 Baseball team in the Spalding Guide...

Not sure how or why I did the back scans bigger than the front? Oh well

Another OB of the list.Thanks Mike.

[HercDriver]

This Sovereign Cubbie eluded me for a long time before a fellow N54er came through! Thanks to Mike and Sean (for the head's up)!

Take Care,
Geno
