As a postcard collector, those are awesome! Another thing on the want list! Thanks for sharing..

1. At Bat
2. In Action
3. On the Bench
4. Ready for Action
5. The Tiger's Favorite (not pictured on the site)
6. Sitting on League Ball
7. Throwing Spit Ball

That leaves 3 until-now (?) unknown Postcards. Why do I say that there must be 3 more (for a total of 10)? The 6/28/1909 edition of the Indianapolis Star included the following ad for the sale of Billie Jones' Postcard set of George:

I am posting the 3 remaining of the set with photos below (along with the "Tiger's Favorite" referenced above). They are:

8. Little Daughter Showing Him the Pennant
9. Showing Different Positions of Throwing
10. Geo. Mullin (in a suit)

Hopefully, the Tigers and Postcard fans will enjoy. Not to mention, George Mullin was a beast on the mound! There have to be more of these out there. Hopefully, more will come to light with more attention.

Same as you, I love baseball postcards. Even better than traditional cards for me. I was glad to share it and even happier to be able to put the rest of the puzzle together. Nothing worse than for a piece of Baseball Americana to be lost forever.

I'm hoping more attention on these postcards and baseball postcards in general will result in more of these coming into circulation. By my remembrance, only THREE (?) of these Mullin postcards have been graded by PSA or SGC. Mine will be headed for grading soon.

Best part about this story? These were personally owned by his battery-mate/buddy, Boss Schmidt

My OCD "required" me to get these graded. Less concerned with the grade than I am with preserving them in a slab. Anyway, here's a look at my 8 out of 10 set:
