Thanks Jim.
"Dick Mayes (a fan from Brooksville)," You certainly know how to research an RPPC.....

Leon, I think the guy in the middle may be an actual Zombie. Great picture, congrats.

incredible clarity on that PC, Leon! You've got a great eye! And Jim, I know who to go to the next time I need help identifying a person on a postcard!

He is identified as Dick Mayes. Says he played with Pirates in 1880's. Also on back of mine it says he was still playing on 3/4 century team at the time of this photo!

Here is a link to one of the only other copies of seen, from REA Fall 2017

The only other copy I've seen is this one from a 10 year old H&S auction

Thanks for posting this, Erick. The clarity on this rppc just doesn't get much better....a few closer shots.

I taught a museums class at the U of Washington on object identification/authentication, and one thing I taught was how much identification information can be found on the internet. Google and wikipedia are an archivist's friend. One exercise was how to use the internet to assess and identify objects donated to a museum. This included researching stamps and identifying the photographers' names of famous photo images.

Dicks left thumb looks very deformed! Curious of what happened to the two balls that are in the picture.
