+1....very cool and never seen that Thorpe before...

Thanks, Leon :cool: . I've searched around and can't find another online anywhere.

Let's keep the Thorpe theme going with this RPPC. With him is another athlete from Carlisle HS. Won it from Huggins and Scott featuring the Lipset collection.

Beautiful postcards Jay, iconic picture of Thorpe!

sick postcard! I've definitely never seen that one before!

I was the underbidder on those Carlisle postcards. You got them cheap IMO. But I let you get them cheap. :D

I am a Thorpe fan as well, and I have seen that image of Thorpe before. It's taken from the start of the 1,500 meters during the pentathlon. The link shows the same image and talks about the details of the 1,500 meter race from which the image was taken.

I thought I had seen that image on a postcard previously. SGC shows one of card "99" from the 1912 Olympics as being graded. Is that yours? Anyway, the link provides some interesting information about the image. :)

Thanks for the link! That one listed through SGC is not ours as the one my dad has is not graded.

No problem. :) Like I said, I thought I had seen a graded postcard of that image before, but I can't find the postcard anymore online. That's what made me take a look at SGC's population.

Another Native American baseball team to add to my collection. Found this one locally. St Francis Indian School (Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota)

Let's throw some hockey into the mix! Here's a 1932 Sudbury RPPC with a very young Hector "Toe" Blake.

Dan that's a great image!

1909 Pirates / Wagner
 

Contains a caricature of Honus Wagner (far left) and unfolds the story of the 1909 pennant race. It's one I'd never seen or heard of. New discovery?

That 1909 Pirates postcard is awesome. I have never seen that one before, but there is so much good stuff going on in that postcard. :D

Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Nap Lajoie
 

Different than what is expected in this thread but maybe someone else will love the new artwork on old postscards as much as I do! Gotham

Great postcard. I've never seen it before either.

I have seen a few postcards I think that Honus Wagner is a new discovery . That's sweet .

1911 Nebraska Indians team. Looks like perhaps when the Beltzer brothers purchased the team. Rag tag group with mismatched uniforms. They would whip them into shape in the years following.

That Collins is in beautiful condition! To see the back that white and clean, very cool postcard.

What kept it from going higher than a 6? I'm struggling to see many flaws on my tiny iPhone screen.

Anyone ever seen this postcard? Found it among our collection but don't know much about it. Is it half of a folding postcard perhaps?

PC thread back to page one:

Wow! Love those Comiskey interior views.

It's not a double fold postcard, this view comes as a standard size postcard and one slightly elongated. You've found the longer version which is the rarer version.

It's a view of the bleachers at Shibe Park in Philly. The standard size has several title variations including the New York title.

Thanks SO much for this info. Couldn't find anything about it online.

i love that ny crowd postcard...very cool. I picked up this night shot of yankee stadium for my ys postcard collection and re-acquired the shonen ruth...for a few hundo you cant beat it!!!

Time to bump this thread back up to the first page and accentuate the positive. Here are a few of my favorite H.M. Taylor Tigers!

Here's a 1914 E & S Postcard of Frank Chance

Awesome PC's, Brian!!

Here's one that you don't see every day. Anyone know of another? I picked it up last year - 1912 Portsmouth Team PC w/ Southworth:

http://photos.imageevent.com/derekgr...e/IMG_0003.jpg

Here's a couple of new ones!

I had tried sending a PM without success. I was inquiring if you still had the postcard, and if it would ever be offered for sale? ((And yes...I know the post is 3+ year sold))) My great grandfather served on the USS Wyoming, from 1913 to 1915. I have just recently discovered boxes upon boxes of letters, and postcards of his from approx. 1909 to 1919. And in 1913, there is a letter in which he states that they were in Cuba, on training mission. So, I couldn't help but to inquire, as it would be something I would love to have, if available, knowing that my great grandfather could possibly be aboard. Please let me know! Thanks!

Topeka Postcard
 

Need help with player ID

Matt that is from the 1908 Topeka team. The odd thing is Cuthbert is not listed as being part of that team. He's not listed the previous or following year either. I have the 1908 team postcard and he's not on it. I have a few other players from this team and would be interested in it if you want to sell it.

Amazing cards. Love post cards.

Dave - great postcard, but please take the advice from this thread:

You need a new scanner my friend!

Not baseball but ..
 

A very cool Wrigley's advertising piece .

Here's a 1907 Toronto Maple Leafs Real Photo Postcard of Yenser Weidensaul that I picked up yesterday at the Toronto Expo.

Great pick up if you're in the know about Yencer Weidensaul. He had an interesting career starting with being a teammate of Christy Mathewson in college. Here is a Net54 link from 2013 with details. LINK

Thanks David,
I actually picked it up yesterday from Jim (who started the original thread you posted the link for). Is his name "Yenser" or "Yencer"? I've seen it spelled both ways.

Good question. The Bucknell yearbook spelled it "Yencer". The alumnus newsletter clipping in the linked thread calls him "Yentzer" which is the same name given in BBref.com although the index heading is "Yenser" so go figure. Then there's this: yentzer: a dated Americanism for a male who copulates frequently. So he had that going for him. Let's just call him Yance.

Picked this one up yesterday at an antique show. Dave "Beauty" Bancroft with MJ Kelley, the owner of the Minneapolis Millers. Has to be from 1933 as that is the only year Bancroft was with the team.

Let's revive the best thread of all time with a 1906 Buffalo Bisons Team postcard that includes George Stallings.

Very cool card Jeff. I've never seen that one before.

1933 Bancroft

....great pick-up ; Kelley's autograph !! " An antique show" ??? !!! ....I gotta get out more....


...

Jumping the gun here as they have not come in yet from REA... But was please to land this one with the Ad back which I've never seen before on the Max Stein Cobb PC

I really like the vivid color of this 1926-29 Exhibit PC.

1907 Wagner
 

Just picked this one up recently...

Sweet, Pete! Where'd that one come from? Recent find? Nice photo!

Thanks Bob! I bought it from a friend who had bought it a few years ago privately. Not sure where it originally came from.

Love Exhibits. But am terrible at uploading pictures. . . .

Steve, I agree with you on Exhibits. Wish I still had my 1921 set I bought from The other Steve "Verkman" years ago but I sold it. Glad I held onto this one, as its my favorite Gehrig card

Beautiful Pete

I think the ad back may only appear on the Cobb, of the handful I've seen it was always Cobb. Great pickup!

Great Wagner too Pete.

Thanks Jeff and when will we be seeing your newest addition to your postcard family?!?! Another collector talked me into the Cobb Stein as I didn't know about the ad back. The same collector liked the Green mount W600!!

That's one beautiful Gehrig. Love it. I have a SGC 40. Yours is stunning. Don't get any better than that. As far as pictures go, can't beat the Exhibits.

Not sure if I've ever shared this one...but I love team composite PC's. This one has HOFer Bill McKechnie (bottom left corner) from 1906:

1946 Sears PC.

Here is a 1905 Real Photo Postcard of Louis Rapp of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Originates from the estate of former Major Leaguer Lewis Carr,
who was given this card directly from Rapp himself while they were teammates on the Leafs!

I'm happy to have something to post in this thread (even though I already posted in the Heritage thread). HOFer Dick Irvin with the 1925-26 Portland Rosebuds.

This is one of the best eye candy threads I think we have had on the forum.

Of the less than a handful of these I've seen, at least one (and I think more) were used as postcards. This one wasn't but somewhere back in this thread I might have posted one that is canceled of Home Run Baker. Still a great image, shown before, and can easily be classified as a blank backed postcard.

From one of the nicest postcard sets ever produced, here is a 1910 Sweet Caporal Postcard of Fred Lake.

Nice Jeff!

Bresnahan looks like an oompa loompa in those baggy clothes! Jeez!

Cy Seymour is one of the forgotten and most versatile stars of the era. He led the league in strikeouts (239) as a pitcher in 1898 and batting average (.377) as a hitter in 1905. As a bonus, I think his portrait is one of the most picturesque in the set.

It's Hammer time.

Sure would be nice if Jeff P would post something other than the utter dross he's been subjecting us to lately.

C'mon man: :rolleyes:
