Unidentified Baseball Team on oversized real photo postcard

[FrankWakefield]

This thread shows some of that Net54 research, ciphering, and figuring out...

March 20 1910 was a Sunday... slightly unusual date for a cancellation?

May 20 1910 was a Friday.

Just because the card has that info on it, doesn't mean that it was contemporaneously mailed.

HOF ties... there was a Hall of Fame pitcher who attended Gettysburg College.

Dinosaurs are roaming this thread, S Gross, I think I bought a couple of white border cards from you a few weeks ago. Mr. McDonald, Mahalo? I think I sold you a red border card years ago. Bill Kuhlman is in the 1910 Red Border cards in series 6, with the Paris Bourbonites, of the Kitty League's Paris, Ky team. He played infield and outfield for them. That info you dug up shows a Kuhlman playing center field for Gettysburg.

And his name is Eddie Plank.

I agree with the "consensus" theory of post card. Correct team, just mailed late.

Being an ol' Dickinson man (class of '82), This thread brought back some fine college memories (sans hangovers ...... ).

Look like Gettysburg had the best of D'son those years.

Frank, my fellow dinosaur (), yes, sold many a T206 recently. Haven't owned T210s in probably 10 years (once had complete T210-1, but sold, wish I didn't, of course).

Speaking of Eddie Plank and Gettysburg ---- here's a completely random fact:

Everyone pronounces Gettysburg as: Get - TEES - Burg.

However, in South Central PA, it is pronounced: Get - TIS -Burg.

Fun, Fun, Scott

Based on the facts you fine folks have discovered; I have decided to gift this postcard to a card collecting friend who is a local historian and a professor at Shenendoah University (now in Winchester, VA).

I'm hopeful that he'll be able to perhaps track down information on some of the young men in the image. If he turns anything up, I'll update the thread.

Again, I really appreciate all the research you have provided. It's helped me to find the perfect home for this card. Thank you all very much.
