1908 RPPC Cap Anson-related postcard story

[Bicem]

Awesome, and exactly why I collect RPPC's! Great piece of baseball history.

Well done.

Great research and story. And incredible shot. Love the image. Sometimes these baseball scenes are more compelling than individual player cards or team shots. Just a moment in time.

The grass is so unkempt I'd imagine rollers into the outfield would just die!!!

Good thing as there are people sitting having a picnic on the field!!!

Jeff, Same reason I collect them also, although mostly team RPPC's. A snapshot of history.

Great research and story. You really did your homework on this one.

That's really great detective work! I have visited your site several times and it's a great resource.

So, if the posted 10 cent admission price is right, they took in $75. That's probably less than what you paid for the postcard. In any case it's a great item and story.

Less than an hour from my house and yet I've never been there and I didn't know Lundgren had a marker. Not only that, 5 years at U of Illinois (a long time ago) and I had never heard of Lundgren hall.

Cool story about the postcard, and really impressive web site.

McHenry County! I lived out there for about half my life. Woodstock and Crystal Lake

Just wanted to thank everyone for their comments and input. This little project is getting me interested in RPPCs, an area of collecting I've ignored.

Postcards, especially generic and old ones, are not fun to collect. They should be avoided at all cost.
