Much thanks to Jodi B. for the latest update on Pat Gillick, a whopping 35 years earlier than his previously listed collectible!!!

I haven't been on this forum in a while, but I have a 1909 Lancaster Red Roses (Tri-State - Minor League) Team Postcard with Mr. Stan Coveleski on it. It was his first year of professional baseball.

I assume this would trump the 1914 Team PC you have listed at the beginning of this thread. I'd be happy to post a picture when I get home from work tonight, if anyone is interested.

Probably not too many of these floating around out there...

There is always the 1910 E93 Standard Caramel.

I believe that the E93 is another Coveleski other than Stan.

The 1909 Lancaster P/C is the earliest Coveleski piece, I am going to update my listing right now. Thanks you for the info.

Harry Coveleski played for Lancaster in 1908
Are you sure the postcard depicts Stan?

Craig:

Actually both Coveleskis are pictured and named on the postcard.

Dan:

Vance is now updated, thanks for your input.

You need to update that Dazzy Vance listing too.

Here's a scan of the Lancaster postcard, the other Coveleski pictured is J. Coveleski.

Thanks Phil
No wonder they were champions with Harry and Stan pitching!

Boy, am I glad that I'm not a completionist with regard to my collection of HOF'ers--pure unobtainium!
