Just came in on consignment. We've had some nice luck with postcards!

Appears to be Paul Waner (HOF) sitting in the middle of the front row. My scanner is not great, but had a chance to compare features with an 8 x Lupe and they appear to be spot on - especially nice match on his unique ears and nose - as well as his mouth, chin, eyebrows, and overall build. AZO four triangles up would date this around 1918 - if him, Waner would have been 15 years old - the other guys all look older, but then Waner would have likely been the best player regardless, so it would not have been unusual to play with older men - also, looking at the different uniforms, this appears to be some sort of All-Star team. Paul Waner would have been living in Harrah or near the Oklahoma City area at this time.

The man sitting at the far right, appears to be the same player and teammate, from a different team photo that both Paul and Lloyd Waner are in.

Couple of recent returns from SGC, if you haven't seen them posted elsewhere.

Postcard of umpire Bill McGowan (HOF) produced in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware in 1913 or 1914 where he started his career with the Tri-State League (Del, PA, NJ) at age 17. He went to the Virginia League in 1915, the International and New York State League in 1916, and the Blue Ridge League in 1917... Following the war, he worked again in the International League and then the Southern Association, staying there until 1924.

He would go on to umpire 30 season in the major leagues, including the first All-Star game, eight World Series, and a record 2,541 consecutive games from 1925 to 1940. Umpire Bill McGowan was inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992.

Tremendous postcard. Never seen that one before.

These have all been shown separately before, but I thought the group photo was pretty cool.
