Default Baseball Cars Not Cards...Prewar Style

Posted By: Robert S

Baseball players, it seems have always loved shiny new toys... Any other prewar baseball-car images out there to add to this thread?

Default Baseball Cars Not Cards...Prewar Style

Great stuff! Do you know if early baseball is in high demand among postcard collectors? I know they have a following with the sports memorabilia crowd, but not sure with the postcard people. Also, what's the earliest color postcard that you've seen?

on a very very off tangent...for years I searched for a postcard that was depicted in the Guiness Book of World Records as the top selling of all time: Donald McGill's "Do You Like Kipling, I Don't Know You Naughty Boy, I've never Kipled." Finally found it on Ebay for ~$2.50. For the top selling it was very difficult to locate.

It depends who you ask. One oldtime postcard collector and dealer recently told me his customers were looking more for stadiums than player postcards lately. and that player cards had fallen in price while ballpark prices remained steady. Of course, the opposite is usually true among baseball memorabilia collectors.

As for color, you see hand-tinted cards from the 1900s (e.g., the Cy Young card above from around 1908).

Glad you liked the baseball images...I may add more tomorrow night.

Is this the Kipling card?

That is the Kipling card! I attended a few postacard shows, one of the West Coast's largest gatherings is here in Portland, but nobody was familiar with the card. I also asked a few web dealers with extensive inventory and knowledge, but same result. Here you are not only aware of it, but a scan to boot. Amazing. :--)
