Thanks Phil, I was happy to finally find one. I would've been perfectly fine with either of the Double Plays as well. Damn, all these pre-war cards/premiums/pins/and other various rookie items. The only good thing about post-war was that most of a collection would be somewhere near standard size. My collection is just all over the place now right now. Storage and display is getting kinda interesting at this point. But I wouldn't give any of it up for the world.

Thanks for the comments.

They were advertised as 1909-1910 but I'll have to do some research to pinpoint based on the players present.

Picked up a couple more Offermanns to add to my set (thanks, MM). If anyone has any others, let me know. Thanks,

Jason:

Based on my research, 1909 for the one on the left and 1910 for the one on the right both look correct.

Those Pirate postcards are fabulous - real photos beat the hell outta lithos.

I picked up a RPPC action photo of a Bloomer girl batting - needed this to accompany an article I finished up a while back. Also picked up a 7-ticket book of 1909 Gunther Park (Chicago) tickets. Finally, a John B. Stetson paperweight...sorry, just adding a little color to the post.

Here's a great addition to my postcard collection, a high grade 1908 Detroit Free Press postcard of Ed Killian. Picked this one up from Jeff P. (Bicem), a fantastic transaction indeed!
(Labelled incorrectly, need to get that fixed!)

Jeff,

I know Killian's deceased, but those eyes are scary. It's almost a Pre-Karloff look.

Explains the two holes burned through the envelope!
