Awesome, that’s his rookie card in my book!

Great post! I still need 3 cards for my back run.

According to this classic N54 post, this is Jimmy Collins (weirdly fielding 2nd base in his dress shoes):

Wow, I have heard that rumor. Not sure how to prove/disprove it! Here's my earliest Collins at present, similar to one posted above. I consider it his third actual "card." Decent front, paper loss on back:

Here are the 1907 Morgan Stationary "Red Belt" postcard, and the black and white photo source image that was used. According to the website that was linked previously, it has been definitively identified as being Jimmy Collins. The basis of this definitive identification is not mentioned, but perhaps the photographer, which is known, identified it as such, or perhaps upon close examination the facial characteristics match Jimmy.
