Let's see some postcards

[BradH]

I was able to get about 20 old postcards in Cooperstown during Induction weekend. Here are a few of my favorites...

--First, a pair of 1920s Polo Grounds postcards, both of very similar views and featuring manager John McGraw. The first one is older and has writing on the back, but no stamp and no postmark (guessing it was likely addressed, but never sent?). The second one has a 1925 postmark and has the white border with a different font. It is clearly a copy of the first. Tough to tell in the scan, but the picture has been artificially enhanced and McGraw's name is hard to read. Also, McGraw's pic is in a slightly different place on the card.

--Second, a few Cooperstown postcards circa 1939 - one featuring the newl-opened Hall of Fame and two featuring Doubleday Field, including the opening ceremonies on June 12, 1939.

--Lastly, as a collector of anything to do with old Comiskey Park, I had to pick up this early 1940s Comiskey card.
