I also started a separate thread about this card.

As a kid we played a tabletop game called Sports Illustrated All-Time All-Star Baseball. It was my introduction to vintage baseball that used color charts with named players (some blanks) and custom dice. We played hundreds and hundreds of games, so much fun.

One of the players I recall always doing well for me was Harry Hooper from the Boston Red Sox; he was a very good hitter, a fast runner, and a terrific outfielder.

Well, when I saw a boardie had this card for sale I of course had to have it!

(I don’t know why it’s “Ed” Hooper)

Every year in my travels, I search through thousands of postcards at flea markets, antique stores, garage sales, etc. I rarely ever find anything.

Today, I spotted a box of vintage postcards and this was in the first stack of postcards that I picked up. I feel that the 1939 postmark is rather late for this issue, but maybe the sender had it laying around for a while.

Thought you might like this photo, Jim. Picked it up from Leland's a while back. First game I ever saw was at the Polo Grounds seventy years ago. Been a Giants fan ever since.

WOW! Maybe the two best back to back posts I’ve seen!
