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?

Very nice! Have not seen that Cobb before.

I recently acquired this 3.5 x 11 bi-fold panoramic postcard of the 1911 Philadelphia Athletics. I have never seen this postcard before, has anyone else? Any help identifying it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Who says ebay has nothing to offer! Here's a few postcards I picked up a couple of weeks ago:

• 1906 Suhling & Koehn Publishing Chicago White Sox Postcard
• 1911 E.F Sehring Hughie Jennings Auto Accident Postcard
• 1912 John Wesley Coombs "Coombs Day" Postcard

nice pick-ups, Jeff - I especially like "Coombs Day".
first time I've seen that one.

Highlights indeed, Jim. Great cards, one and all.
