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!
• 1907-08 Pembroke Debating Club Hockey Team RPPC. Includes Hall Of Famer Frank Nighbor (Misspelled "Neighbor") • 1908 Pembroke Lumber Kings Team Postcard. Includes Hall Of Famer Hugh Lehman (Goalie)

Jim, that looks beautiful. You have some wonderful post cards. I have daydreamed of doing something like that, but certain fears have always shut down the idea. My only concerns are that they are easy to steal (rather than in a safe or safety deposit box), and the possibility of fading due to light exposure. I applaud your bravery, and love that you truly enjoy your cards in a way most of us cannot. Did you address these issues by taking any special precautions like a special tint on the glass, alarm system, bolting to the wall, etc?

Derek, that is a Comet Photo Studios Maranville that you spied. It is partially affixed to scrapbook material and may have come from the Maranville family. My photo is taken from afar, but you might be able to to make out what I believe to be his signature on the left side of his PC. I think at least 6 to 8 of the RPPCs shown are unique to the best of my knowledge, but I wouldn't mind being proven wrong on here.
Orlando, I share your concerns and have done my best to address them. I am a judge by profession and they hang in my chambers behind armed bailiffs at the courthouse entry and in the courtroom. No guarantees, but I think they are as safe there as anywhere. As for the light issue, they are behind TruVue Museum glass that supposedly blocks 99%+ of the UV light, I have hung them in the darkest corner of the room and I plan to rotate out my collection through them at least once a year. Ultimately, I take little joy in that part of my collection that is locked away. The risks I take are outweighed by the pleasure I take in seeing them daily. |

That is Maranville, I am not sure of the location but it is circa 1912-1914. Derek may be able to tell us more.

Jim - Even cooler that yours may have been autographed by Maranville as well!
