Kevin can correct me here, but the earliest cancelled NC is 1911 while the earliest 796 is 1910...maybe the NC is a 1911 issue while the 796s were issued late 1910 post Frock image and distributed that fall... |

Rick quotes 2% of the known postcards have postmarks, which seems to be in the ballpark with me. Other postcards sets have a much higher percentage - usually in the 10 to 20% range. |

Yeah, super low numbers. Maybe if they were give aways with a purchase that has been proposed, the people that bought the product didnt really want the PCs, they wanted the product and hence there are low pops and way lower cancelled cards. Its all just a guess...the 1910 and 1911 theory does seem to fit though. I mean what are the odds the 805s preceded the 796s? Just seems low to me, nothing is consistent in the 796 production while nearly everything is uniform in the 805s. Some of the names on the 805s are off set to the left, while others are centered. The 805s continued the first name theme only have the same few the 796s had. Why does Speaker have that symbol next to his name on the 796? Why is Frock even in this set? Rick has a good theory of rep preceding him, just seems like they could have picked someone else, someone they had an image of already if his was from 1910 as theorized. |

I also think it's significant that the Novelty Cutlery company was located at their new factory at 67 Barr St in 1910 with an adjacent photo studio/gallery depicted in the lower left of the postcard Leon just acquired.

What does the print say in the bottom right? Would be nice to have a date on that move into the new building. PC image looks like summer... |

Lower right:
1st line looks like RUMD/illegible 2nd line: Martin & Co 3rd line: Detroit We know they were located at Bar St. in 1910, we also know that the sets were probably not produced prior to that thanks to Kevin's research. Last edited by Casey2296; 04-19-2021 at 11:00 PM. |

Also, as Phil pointed out, the Collins and Crawford look like the images were shot the same day at the same spot. That spot could be Bennett Park in 1909 as Philly came into town 3 times that year and these guys played each other. Doesn't look like Bennett to me though and their meetings were in summer and not spring and everyone has the long sleeves and all.
By 1909 teams were playing in Hot Springs including Philly and Detroit. They had a second field built in 1909 to accommodate all the teams coming for spring training and in 1912 a third field went in. Maybe they were taken there? Wonder how many of these images were taken in spring training? Last edited by rainier2004; 04-20-2021 at 02:34 PM. |

Im getting lost a bit, but Rick pointed out the spelling mistakes made. 805s had 4 spelling errors while the 796s only had Honas wrong, seems unlike then the 796s came first to only mess up 3 more players names after words. Also, why are all the postmarks on the NCs in PA? I havent counted yet, but the 796 that just sold on ebay is also sent from PA. |
