Let's see some postcards

[Bicem]

Was wondering if SGC had an opinion about it.

Looks legit to me from the scan, the only other I have seen was cropped slightly off if I recall correctly.

great Speaker - I was the underbidder on that bad-boy...looks awesome! Just pay no attention to the back

Speaker was a steal. I was bidding but my WiFi screwed up. I like the back.

Yeah it's a strange postcard. First of all it's oversized. The back calls it a "mailing card". And the stamp box says "POSTAGE If Writing 2 Cents Without Writing 1 Cent". I've never seen another stamp box that determines postage based on writing (although I've not been collecting postcards very long)

Here's a link to the only other example I've seen. Unfortunately not a lot of info in the description like who made it. http://www.legendaryauctions.com/mob...d-and-jennings.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with the price on the Speaker, was actually prepared to go quite a bit higher. Yeah the back is marked up pretty good, but I was just happy to get a Speaker postcard. Seems like he doesn't have a lot out there for whatever reason.

Wow, that Weiser Wonder postcard is something else!

Roy Corhan had a few cups of coffee in the big leagues with the White Sox and Cardinals, and was a mainstay for the PCL SF Seals from 1912-1920, appearing on Zeenuts most of those years. He umpired after his playing career, and also sold insurance.

Here he is "signing up" Ty Cobb in front of the "booze cage" at Rec Park in SF.

Coffee, candy and booze. Who knew insurance was so exciting?

Wish I could match the fabulous Weiser Wonder PC! Here's a couple more WaJo PCs that I have showed in the past in some thread or another, but wanted to get included in this all-time great thread:
