Default Just once...
I have seen that card before, but just once. The card I saw was part of a private collection belonging to a gentleman from Rhode Island.

I have also seen the same style folding postcard for the Pirates, Tigers and the giants.

I would love to own any of them...

Grrreat pick up!

Thanks all,

I have seen those other foldout teams from the era as well, but it appears that they are more common relatively speaking. Interesting to know there is at least one more existent.

That looks like Eddie Gaedel on the right end.

A few years off, wrong team, and probably a tad too tall for Eddie!

I am glad to see a postmarked copy of this as it does clearly establish the year of issue consistent with the "1911 Champions" caption. What is fascinating though is that either the printer was prescient or "Champions" must refer to the American League Champions as the postmark is October 25th but the A's didn't win the World Series until the 26th. My guess, and only a guess, is the A.L. Champions scenario is the reference in the caption and that postcards were sold at Shibe Park during the World Series, thus the very limited quantities of this postcard existent today.
