1910's era Minor League Auto Cards.

Great feedback everyone. Def some good points and thoughts to ponder.

J, thats an interesting theory about some players not even knowing they had a card. I can see that being true with all the players who have a card and no known stats with the designated team. Thanks for all the info you have shared about the set you are a true T210 expert in my book.

Dan, That Postcard is awesome! It has the look of a T209-2. Love the background on that one. Do you have the whole set scanned somewhere that I could check out?

I have never scanned the set, but I do have crappy cell phone pics of it.

I've been wondering about this card for awhile now. I saw this letter on e-bay written by Steen, and I am just not sure if the signature is the same. I posted on the autograph page, but got no replies. I don't mean to hijack your thread, I am just wondering about this one. Of course, I hope it is auto'ed.

Dan, that set looks great! JW Porter is still alive and signs TTM; PM me if you'd like his address.

That's an interesting article. My other theory was that fans in 1910 might have had difficulty tracking down addresses for the minor league teams, and home addresses for the players. Without the internet, Smalling's/Meiselman's address lists, and networks like autograph collectors clubs, sending out autograph requests must've been a real chore.

Here's my only signed Minor League T206...

I dig the Auto PC, Dan! The Minor League Lena is very interesting as well. (When did he sign that card?)

Here is my 1909 Cabinet autographed by Tony Tonneman. (Catcher for Nashville) & coresponding Reach/Spalding guide team photo's with Tony in them. Tony played for the Red Sox for a few games in 1911.
