The attachments came up "invalid" for me, Raymond. I also wanted to tell you that I believe your Blankenship PC is the first one I've ever seen from that set for which Leon has the album of prototype photos, which are blank backed. I can't swear that I've never seen another of the postcards over the years, it's possible I have, but after I saw Leon's album I was wondering if the PCs ever got produced and distributed. Have you ever seen another? Great card of the man who scouted and "signed" Walter Johnson!

Does the Blankenship actually have a postcard back?

1914 Boston Garter Color (H813-2) - Johnny Evers
1914 Boston Garter Black and White (H813-3) - Hal Chase

I would like to know that too. I haven't seen a postcard (or any other picture) from the set.

There are probably people who could turn that very card into a 7.
