Let's see some postcards

Thanks Robert and Jay Cee

Funny all these years of collecting I only had 1 Postcard in my collection and in last 45 days I picked up 4 for my collection.

Besides those 2 Wagner’s I added a Cobb and a Mathewson to my original Ruth postcard

Now I find myself looking more and more for them

Added a few Japanese postcards to the collection. I realize they aren't as popular as the American pcs, but maybe somebody will enjoy them or at least find them marginally interesting.

From top top bottom: Japanese folding stadium postcard (from 1933 I think), another postcard from the same set, and 1908 card of the Tokyo and Kobe baseball clubs before a match.

Very nice Exhibit, but wouldn’t his 1925 W504 Novelty Toy card be his rookie?

OK. Not sure why anyone would consider a card that pictures Wilson with the Cubs as a rookie card over a card that pictures him with his earlier team, the Giants, but to each his own.
