Quebec City Ross Rifle company team. Just don't ask the Canadian Army what they thought of the rifle while fighting in the trenches in WWI

Posed "action" shots of Negro Leaguers are particularly scarce. On the left is Andrew Williams in 1918. Charles O'Neill, also in the Negro Leagues during that era, is very likely the player on the right. More information on them, along with other Negro League ephemera, can be found on the website below. Also a thank you to the sellers and to the folks involved in helping to research these images.

Here is a sweet 1906 Sporting Life Philadelphia Athletics Team Composite Postcard I picked up on the BST. Thanks Jeremy!

Putting this thread back on the front page!

1906 Indianapolis Indians player...sold as a souvenir at the ball park which means it's possible that a card like this one exists for Eddie Cicotte who was with the Indians for a short time in 06.

Just got this in.. Last team Christy played with was the Reds in 1916. Can't imagine too many items floating around with Matheson in a Reds uniform as the Giants was his team for most of his career.

Picked up some Oklahoma Indians baseball team RPPC's recently. Don't know a lot about this team but looking to research them.

Great card, Dan. Hope that others surface from that "series".

Here's the 1911 Seattle Giants, Northwestern League, taken at Yesler Way Park in Seattle. Chock-full of Obak guys.

Thanks Dave, and that's a great Seattle postcard.

Third row far left. We get used to seeing younger images of him, and I had a tough time seeing him to in the auction.

Mathewson isn't in that picture; it was taken early in the season when Buck Herzog was still the manager before he was traded to the Giants for Mathewson. Herzog is in the second row from the bottom, second from the left. The player (actually a coach) on the far left of the third row is 45-year-old Heinie Peitz. Here is the same image (with the background erased) as it appeared in the 1917 Spalding Guide:

Wishful thinking I suppose. Did the seller mention Matty in the sale?

Anyone ever seen this postcard? Found it among our collection but don't know much about it. Is it half of a folding postcard perhaps?

It's not a double fold postcard, this view comes as a standard size postcard and one slightly elongated. You've found the longer version which is the rarer version.

It's a view of the bleachers at Shibe Park in Philly. The standard size has several title variations including the New York title.

Time to bump this thread back up to the first page and accentuate the positive. Here are a few of my favorite H.M. Taylor Tigers!
