Let's see some postcards

Here are a couple of fantastic postcards I got today. The first is a 1941 Real Photo Postcard that includes a very young Bob Feller. The second is an autographed 1956 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Issued Postcard of Bill Mazeroski. Thanks for the Maz PC Andrew!

Great pick-ups. Happy to know a '56 cancel date exists to confirm that mine was issued in '56 as well. You know where to turn if you want a "nicer" example

Very cool postcard...someone wrote 1920 on the card, but it appears 1924 is printed on it.

I love it Rainers!

Of course not as much as your Rube Waddell shaking hands with Christy.

But I love it.

If only that card was in walking distance of your residence Bicem, that might even be cooler.

I know, it haunts me that it's so close, yet so far... (not in my collection)

Here's a group of postcards of PCL Hall of Fame catcher James "Truck" Hannah, spanning most of his illustrious career as a player and manager:

1911 Butte Miners (Union Association)
1912-13 Chattanooga Lookouts (Southern Association)
1918-1920 NY Yankees, Cyanotype (AL)
1930s LA Angels (PCL)

Also, his 1910 release from the Western Canada League Calgary Bronchos, written on the back of a Dugdale's Billiard Parlor slip, and signed by Calgary skipper Bill Carney. Carney's major league career consisted of two games with the 1904 Chicago Cubs.
