Great thread idea, and sorry in advance for the sideways pics. The iPhone randomly puts some on their side, and rotating/editing is apparently not an option.

Hopefully, it's better than not posting at all...

Is that all you got, Mark? (amazing items, us usual!)

I no longer own the studio cabinet. It was from the Copeland sale

Here's one of Connie's rarest postcards. The Evening Telegraph issued it in around 1913.
A postcard of Charles Dooin from this two-card series is shown alongside this one at http://www.sportingoregon.com in the Unusual Postcards gallery.
Please contact me with any postcards you have to sell or trade. Always buying!

Gorgeous uniform, Dave. And, as always, great stuff being shown here.

I saw this in an antique mall in south NJ a while ago. I didn't buy it because it was priced to high for me But it struck me as being such an unusual, "one of a kind" item.

I especially liked the full name signature. How cool it must have been to say that your business was the "American Baseball Club of Philadelphia".

Ad piece, imo. A blotter won't (I can't recall any and I collect them) have writing on the back as it would quickly be ruined by ink. Great piece....and I am your man if you ever want to part with it . And here is actually a very tough card. I am not sure I have even seen one other though I am sure they exist. Great thread, btw...../

I shared this thread with my co-worker today who got a kick out of it. He is originally from the row houses in Philly. His dad named him Timothy Cornelius McGillicuddy....last name. When he started at my section a couple months ago he introduced himself with his full name. I said "Oh, your named after Connie Mack." An instant friendship was formed that day.
