Pretty impressive for your 5th post ever on this forum!!

[rmacpa]

to those that have sent e-mails in regards to the victor mills postcard, thanks for your inquiries.

in that this postcard represents the earliest jackson related item ever recognized (and likely ever to be recognized) by psa or sgc, i would prefer to retain it at this time. that said, if an offer were to be made that was too good to pass up, i would be foolish not to accept it. absent that, it is not being offered for sale at this time.

Beautiful postcard. What did you have to do to get SGC to authenticate it?

[Bicem]

Guessing nothing, they weren't so crazy strict on player identification back in the day like they are now.

[Jaybird]

1914 State Champs (possibly Indiana) with Edgar Burch (French Lick Plutos, Indianapolis ABCs) holding the bag. If anyone has any information on any of the other players or this team, please let me know.

Some real beauties folks! Here's a 1933 Wheaties postcard of Art Ruble.

1. Most "Japanese Tour" postcards are of the printed vs. real photo variety. Here's a fun game action RPPC, Iowa vs. Waseda.

2. Nick Altrock clowning, RPPC.

3. Kinda ugly, but still neat 1906 Chicago WS related PC, front and back.

Simply stunning. Thank you for sharing. I would love to hear the back story on this pc. Did you find it in a Carolina flea market? Where did it come from?

Congrats on a wonderful team image. Southern teams are hard to find pre 1910. Adding Joe to it, is utterly ridiculous.

I believe this is the earliest card for him- I couldn't tie my shoes at this age:

Haven't checked-in with this thread in about a week. Thanks for the amazing surprise RMACPA. I was scrolling down and my eye went to Joe Jackson and my jaw dropped. Would have written about nine minutes sooner but was in a catatonic state.

Would love to know anything more you feel like telling about this card. Mainly did you find it in S. carolina area and is there any interesting note if postally used?

Thanks for posting.

(Okay so now it's Christy shaking hands with Rube followed by Joe Jackson Victor Mills. No, no, it's Joe Jackson first THEN I would want the Christy..... sigh.)

Image 1: Game action real photo postcards of Ty Cobb taken by spectators are exceedingly scarce (I know of just one other). Image 2: I don't recall ever seeing a real photo postcard of Cy Young from during his playing days, and this one is noteworthy as it is among his last photos as a major leaguer.

In the first image, Ty Cobb is shown at bat in an outstanding photo snapped by a spectator who wrote on the back of the postcard, "I may not be able to Ty Cobb but I can snap him. Taken at the Wilkes Barre and Detroit game Sunday, Sept. 24-11." Just before the end of the 1911 season, at about the time the Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the pennant race, the Tigers visited Boulevard Park for a game with the home town Wilkes Barre Barons, champions of the New York State League. The Tigers prevailed 3-2, according to a box score of the game. Cobb went 0-3, so this image probably shows him recording an out. His teammate Sam Crawford was 4-4. Behind the plate that day for the Barons (and behind Cobb in this image) was Joe Briger, whose minor league career spanned 1907-1925.

In the second image, Cy Young stands wearing a Boston Braves uniform in 1912. His statistics show his last year as 1911, but he was a member of the 1912 team until he effectively retired after arm trouble prevented him from making his first appearance on May 23 at Pittsburgh. That makes this image among the last taken of him as a major leaguer. The year 1912 can be isolated by the word Boston appearing across the uniform front and an Indian head logo on the left shoulder. The team surrounding him is unidentified. If you have any information on their identity please let me know.
