Just got this anonymous 1906 Chicago White Sox postcard in the mail today:



When I compare it to the copy of the V.O. Hammon team postcard that I have, it looks like they were both taken at the same sitting, with the players repositioning themselves between photos...



Sorry if this had been brought up before, but I thought that it was interesting.

Honus Wagner mailed this postcard from '13 spring training to his girlfriend and future wife Bessie Bain Smith. He signed it "Jay" which I assume was a nickname between he and his girl (he was also called "Buck Jay" by certain family members later in life)

Anyway, I like the personal nature of this postcard.

Love the postcard, Jeff. This photo was at auction at one of the AHs a year or so back. I didn't bid on it but saved the image.

Their wedding photo from 1916. Beautiful gal. I hope she was just sitting down.

I need that photo now, thanks for posting it David!

Beautiful gal. I hope she was just sitting down.

That was funny!
David, hope all is well North of the Border

Can't for the life of me remember which AH had it. It's date-stamped in my computer to March 28, 2015 which at least nails down the timeframe if that's any help.

Hi Jay. Long time no see. All's well in Canada. Growing old and still howling at the moon.

Love of game...

I'd guess some people called him "Jay" because of his first initial.

This isn't just the baseball postcard thread! It's getting real tough to find hockey postcards with hall of fame players so I'm real happy a buddy of mine made these available to me. Nothing beats picking up your stuff in person!

• 1908 Pembroke Lumber Kings Team Postcard. Includes Hall Of Famer Hugh Lehman (Goalie)

Framing postcards has become a serious affliction!
