This is as close as I get to cards these days Picked up this great scrapbook with over 200 woodcuts of which ~20 are baseball portraits from the NY Clipper (1883 and after). It contains many sports including cycling, wrestling etc. as well as a bunch of actors. Definitely one of the most unique items that I have come across.

I don't recall if I previously posted this print from an original glass plate negative I acquired of the 1918 Salt Lake City Bees. Former Portland Beavers manager Walter McCredie is wearing his Portland jersey. The African American at the lower left, the Bees trainer, is former heavyweight boxer Peter Jackson.

Cool postcard but I'm not so sure of the ID although the time is about right for Bing being at Gonzaga. Bing had some seriously distinct looking "attached" earlobes and the player in the postcard definitely doesn't appear to have his ears.
