I have always liked deadball era postcards - seems they have a more personal connection to that era.

Jack Johnson & Bill Squires - 1907 Postcard
1 Attachment(s)
Made in Australia, I believe this postcard of the legendary Jack Johnson was produced in 1907 (not C.1908 as indicated by SGC).
In early 1907, Jack Johnson went to Australia looking to fight the popular undefeated national champion Bill Squires; unable to get the match, he fought Peter Felix on 19 Feb 1907 and Bill Lang on 4 Mar 1907. Bill Squires opted to fight World Champion Tommy Burns in America on 4 Jul 1907. Although Squires was favored to win, he was knocked out in the first round and then went on to loose 9 of his next 10 fights. Bill Squires never did fight Jack Johnson. This divided-back postcard was most likely produced around Mar 1907 while Johnson was in Australia and Bill Squires was still the popular undefeated national champion - prior to a long string of losses beginning in Jul 1907. |
Cool postcard. Johnson would have obviously slammed Squires, according to Squires record.

Johnson was back in Australia in 1908: On Dec. 26 1908 Johnson knocked out HW Champ Tommy Burns to become the first African American HW champ. |
Kirby Puckett - 2001 Perez-Steele postcard

Tough autographed postcard of HOF'er Kirby Puckett.
Kirby Puckett is one of three guys that come to my mind who could put a team on his back and carry it to a championship - Cal Ripken and George Brett are the other two |

Here is a recent pickup from last RMY auction. Schaefer played 1 game for NY in 1916 and was a coach. He was not on roster in 1917 but if date is correct, might have been in spring training

Both those postcards are amazing.

Tremendous postcards. Thanks for sharing. Interesting that there are no stats listed for 1931 Homestead Grays. I'm assuming those are lost.

Joe McCarthy (HOF) w/ Jake Daubert - 1909 Toledo Mud Hens
1 Attachment(s)
Postcard of the 1909 Toledo Mud Hens of the American Association with Joe McCarthy (HOF and 7-time World Series champion) and future MVP and two-time NL batting champion Jake Daubert.
I believe that is McCarthy standing fourth from the left and Daubert laying down, second from the left. In 1909, the Mud Hens finished 6th out of 8 teams in the American Association. RPPC is postmarked 26 May 1909 from Ada, Ohio. |

Kevin—The Crawfords and Homestead Grays RPPCs are spectacular!
I received the attached as a birthday gift from my friend David McDonald who felt it might assuage my trepidation at entering my ninth decade. I have never seen another RPPC of the Kelly Mascot, the seven-year-old son of Goldsboro’s 1910 manager, M. J. Kelly. What is also interesting is that this one is addressed to the wife of Fred Stoehr who was a pitcher on the team. I’m going to write more about the Kelly-Stoehr connection but wonder if anyone else has seen one of these? I have a few RPPCs from the Eastern Carolina League and they almost always feature photos that were used for T209 and T210. Does anyone else have any? Thanks for looking, Mike |
