I just picked up this graded Eastern Exhibit PC to complement the raw example with an Exhibit Supply overprint that I've had in my collection for years.

If anyone on the board won this lot last evening in the Hunt Auction, nice pickup. If you plan on selling some of them off I am interested in the 1909 WI Badgers tour of Japan card.

Jeez, Rick. How many of these postcards did you buy from me? Either directly or through my consignments through LOTG? Glad to see them shared here again...

I had one other team PC of the Washington POM team w/ McKechnie. That one was trimmed almost exactly the same and was also produce by Record Publishing Co. Not mine any longer, but figured I'd share since you showed the other "composite" version of the PC I once owned:



I also used to own this one...same image, different trimming:



I still think your vertically oriented composite photo is the best of the available "earliest" McKechnie postcards is the best.

Any idea who the player in the dark uniform is? Looks like Walter Schmidt maybe

Hall of Fame postcard autographed on the front and initialed on the back by Elmer Flick (HOF) - on the backside he proudly boasts of the batting title he won in 1905, commenting that himself and Willie Keeler were the only two players that batted over .300 that year. Flick notes his batting average at .306, however, Baseball-Reference.com lists him at .308 in 1905

Signed in 1964, the 88-year old great, talks that these were the days of the "Spitter" and "Emery" ball in the hands of great pitchers like Jack Chesbro who won 41 games (1904) and Ed Walsh who won 40 games (1908)
