JD McCarthy postcards were actually taken by a photographer in the Detroit area. I believe they were used mainly by players for autograph purposes...ie fan mail. I think players and teams could order them direct. As such they may have come with a PC back as well as blank.

They were printed for 40+ years with a number of poses variations etc. I am not sure a comprehensive list has ever been put together; although a board member had an extensive list. I have not seen the list, and I do not know if gives all the variations with presumed year of issuance.

Due to the long period of time in which they were issued the cards that can be dated ie postmark on the back generally carry a premium.
