Let's see some postcards

This is the 1908 Sporting Life - Walter Johnson - he is in the upper left corner

This looks like a "reverse image" of the 1908 Rose Co. postcard

It looks like they didn't worry about which side of the negatives they used. In this 1909, Cantillon and Milan are reversed from the 1908.

In the case of Milan and Johnson, it looks like they reversed the image so that all of the players are looking towards the center of the image. I am sure that they did this with other players as well. No idea why they reversed the image of Cantillon.

Thanks for posting that image from the Sporting Life Newspapers. It definitely looks like they used the same Horner image that the Rose Co. used, except that they reversed it.

Not to get too far off subject, but does anyone know if The Sporting Life actually issued a W601 Supplement of Washington in 1908 or was this image just used in the January 30, 1909 edition of their newspaper?

I know that The Sporting Life issued W601 supplements between 1902 and 1911, but it seems as though they issued all teams in some years (1903, 04, 05, 06 and 09) and only a few teams in others (1902, 07, 08, 10 and 11)
