SOLD: 1907 Cleveland Naps postcard

[Rob D.]

Another item from a collection that's new to the hobby. To be perfectly honest, among Cleveland Naps postcards, this has never been one of my favorites. However, its scarcity cannot be denied.

From the wonderful website sportingoregon.com comes this identification of players:

back row - Jake Thielman, Otto Hess, Walter Clarkson, Addie Joss, Bill Bernhard, Bob Rhoads, Glen Liebhardt; middle row - Nap Lajoie, Pete O'Brien, Glen Liebhardt (again), Howard Wakefield, Jay Clarke, Heine Berger, Frank Delehanty; front row - Joe Birmingham, Harry Bay, Harry Hinchman, Elmer Flick, George Stovall, Bill Bradley, and Terry Turner.

This example is not slabbed and has numerous creases. Because of the pastel-like colors, the creases do not detract like they might on a card with bolder, darker colors. It is postally used with what appears to be a postmark of Sep 6, 1907.

Price is $xxxx (A quick search of Legendary's online archive shows that a nicer example of this postcard sold at auction for $805.)

Check or money order preferred; PayPal is OK. Price is delivered within the United States. Edited to add: A commitment to buy takes precedence over any ongoing negotiation.

Feel free to email any questions.

Thanks,

Rob
