I'm not trying to be cocky or arrogant either, but could could post that face in higher res? I don't know whether it's him or not.

Mark,

This is about a hi res as I can get:

The 1908 Reading Pretzels featuring Home Run Baker. He debuted with the Athletics in September of that year. Not an RPPC but meets the other criteria.


This is the circa 1915 Portland, Maine Duffs coached by HOFer Hugh Duffy whom I believe is in the front row at right. Not a pre-rookie image but what the heck.


1926 Toronto Maple Leafs with 23 year old Carl Hubbell in the front row, still a couple of years away from the Bigs. Another HOFer in the guise of Lionel Conacher is seen in the back row at left. He is in Halls of Fame for hockey, lacrosse and Canadian Football.


Not an RPPC and no HOFers but I'm just itching to post it anyway. 1908 Richmond Colts featuring an essload of T210ers.



Don't have this postcard in hand yet. Won it at auction the other night. The AH claimed matter of fact that the gent at the very left is Casey Stengel with the 1910 Western Dental School ball club (? !). I don't think there's any way that it's Stengel but I liked the card all the same. If I'm wrong then I'll be stoked. Probably what we have is an RPPC of a pre-rookie dentist.

David, Duffy is the 3rd guy in from left middle row in that Portland postcard... Awesome image!

Here are a few of Zach Wheat. Not sure of the years. One has him driving the wagon. I picked them all up together.

Thank you, Rhett. I used the postage stamp image from BBRef.com to try to make a match so my ID effort was kinda flimsy.

Derek: Conacher wasn't mentioned in the description when I bought it but he popped out at me right away. People thought I was nuts when I paid big bucks but this post card is a winner in so many ways. You and a couple of other guys have expressed particular interest in it so there's a bit of a quandary down the line when the time comes to part ways with Mssrs. Hubbell and Conacher. I wish I could oblige all you guys that want my stuff.

Kenny - what's that bottom one? Is Wheat in there with his sandlot crew (and a dog mascot)?

Here's a pre-rookie of Stan Covaleski with the 1909 Lancaster Red Roses Team:

Got all 4 from his family. They thought he was in the picture but I have no idea which one could be him. I've got other pictures of his youth but they aren't postcards. Have his 3 month old baby pic and one yr old pic plus couple cabinet cards before he was in majors.

oh trust me, I know! I love your 1906 Prairie Roses Team Cabinet and the Cabinet of Wheat in a Union City uniform. I believe my early Wheat card came from the same collection (it's a 1900s cabinet w/ Zach and Mack Wheat and another brother). I believe you owned it at one time.

David,

Any chance you’d consider any offers on the 1908 Richmond team card? As a lifelong Richmonder, it’s of great interest to me...If not, I understand and my compliments on an amazing piece.
