Here's a 1907 Toronto Maple Leafs Real Photo Postcard of Yenser Weidensaul that I picked up yesterday at the Toronto Expo.

Great pick up if you're in the know about Yencer Weidensaul. He had an interesting career starting with being a teammate of Christy Mathewson in college. Here is a Net54 link from 2013 with details. LINK

Thanks David,
I actually picked it up yesterday from Jim (who started the original thread you posted the link for). Is his name "Yenser" or "Yencer"? I've seen it spelled both ways.

Good question. The Bucknell yearbook spelled it "Yencer". The alumnus newsletter clipping in the linked thread calls him "Yentzer" which is the same name given in BBref.com although the index heading is "Yenser" so go figure. Then there's this: yentzer: a dated Americanism for a male who copulates frequently. So he had that going for him. Let's just call him Yance.

Picked this one up yesterday at an antique show. Dave "Beauty" Bancroft with MJ Kelley, the owner of the Minneapolis Millers. Has to be from 1933 as that is the only year Bancroft was with the team.
