Interesting backstory on a classic Detroit Tigers postcard w/ Cobb & Crawford

[mechanicalman]

What an incredible post. I grew up a Tigers fan and attended my first games with my dad there. So many positive memories. As a baseball fan and card collector, this find is awesome. As a Tigers fan who remembers that pole, it's even better.

Thanks for posting this postcard and its story. It reminds me of this thread:

I love how the backstory (in the case of the Royal Gorge postcard, developed over numerous posts) multiplies the interest in the captured image. Great job and research. I missed the original posting, because I am still almost exclusively a ball card collector, and tend to bypass the postcard postings, but can easily see why folks collect them. I would also like to thank the thread reviver.

Thanks for the notes guys, this has been a truly under-appreciated postcard; although, I recently saw a copy go for more than $500 so perhaps it is now getting the respect it deserves.

The Royal Gorge thread is a fascinating read, it inspired me to acquire that postcard. In fact, I have an extra copy of the over-sized version of it to trade for other postcards or Chief Bender items if anyone is interested.

As most can see, 2 different snapshots one earlier than the other.
