That’s crazy, he pitched in the ballpark in my old hometown as well. The things you learn! Thanks for that info.

A couple recent pick ups for me, an Oakland City Walkovers, and one from the 3 game series between Prineville and Portland Oregon.

New arrival, AZO postage marking puts it at between 1918 and 1930. Lots of sailors in their whites pictured here.

Cobb RPPC
 

Ty Cobb postcards are highly collectible, and gaining in popularity along with value every year. RPPCs are starting to come into play for postcard collectors as they are unique and it’s rare to find multiples of the same image. I was fortunate enough to pickup this 1916 RPPC (bottom picture) with a crystal clear image of the Georgia peach. It makes a great addition to my 1910 tour of Cuba RPPC (top left picture). The other card (top right) is a from a series of cards issued by the Hubel hotel of the Detroit Tigers team and few are known to exist.

Not sure if this Fold out post card has been shown yet. I see more interest in Cy Young cards lately. 1908 H. N. Dickerman postcards are pretty darn rare and can also be found using political figures as well.

Those are really nice, Jaycee....nice pick ups
.

These don't seem worthy after the last few posts, but here they are anyway (some with 1911 postmarks) :

Roger Peckinpaugh - 1910 New Haven Prairie Hens
 

Ninteen-year old Roger Peckinpaugh with the 1910 New Haven Prairie Hens. In 1925, he was the American League MVP with the Washington Senators.

Ed Walsh - Autographed HOF Postcard
 

Happy to have just picked up this 1946-52 Artvue HOF postcard of Ed Walsh (PSA label incorrectly identifies it as 1953-55). Nice bold signature from September 1950 - that is also Ed Walsh's handwriting on the back of the postcard. Tough signature to find, as he died in May 1959.

I’m looking for this RPPC of the 1910 Charleston, WV team. It previously sold twice in 2013. I’m doing family research and believe a relative is in this photo. Would be looking for a high resolution photo or willing to buy at the right price!

I picked up the two baseball PCs a few years ago. The three football PCs I got a about a month ago, the middle one was a local pickup.

Flatlanders
 

Brooklyn

New arrival today. Been missing in the mail for a few weeks. Postmarked 1910.

Kid Nichols (HOF) - 1908 Oshkosh Indians
 

Kid Nichols, player/manager of the Class-D, 1908 Oshkosh Indians - back row w/white sweater. It appears, the glass plate negative was cracked when this RPPC was printed in 1908.

Kid Nichols won 362 games in the major leagues - he won 30 or more games in a season seven times.

Picked up two new ones that arrived today. The “make a run for you” postcard appears to be early 1900s.

I especially like the Packy McFarland (of T218 fame) postcard teaching boxing to the Knights of Columbus.

I just received this in a nice trade.

Frank "Homerun" Baker (HOF) - 1909 Philadelphia Athletics
 

A rare 1909 RPPC of 23-year old third baseman Frank "Homerun" Baker (HOF) of the Philadelphia Athletics during his rookie season. Card is postmarked 30 July 1909 from St. Louis, MO.

Not sure if I've already posted this one here.

Adam - those Richard Petty postcards are awesome! I didn’t even know those existed…

One from my upcoming auction, right in the heart of Leon's interest of the odd and usual Postcard, a large group of players and fans from a 1909 western Kansas Baseball RPPC. The man in the center front row brandishing his six-shooter.

Must be the umpire.

That's a cool postcard!

Sam Crawford (HOF) autographed postcard
 

Sam Crawford (HOF) autographed this card twice (front and back) in 1964. Interesting that he annotated his hit total at 3,051 hits, in contrast to 2,964 hits annotated on his HOF plaque. Another record Crawford still holds is for the most inside the park home runs for a season (12) and for a career (51)

Any idea who the player in the dark uniform is? Looks like Walter Schmidt maybe

Elmer Flick (HOF) - Autographed Postcard
 

Hall of Fame postcard autographed on the front and initialed on the back by Elmer Flick (HOF) - on the backside he proudly boasts of the batting title he won in 1905, commenting that himself and Willie Keeler were the only two players that batted over .300 that year. Flick notes his batting average at .306, however, Baseball-Reference.com lists him at .308 in 1905

Signed in 1964, the 88-year old great, talks that these were the days of the "Spitter" and "Emery" ball in the hands of great pitchers like Jack Chesbro who won 41 games (1904) and Ed Walsh who won 40 games (1908)

Richard Petty postcard
 

Autographed postcard of "The King" Richard Petty from 1992. He raced from 1958 to 1992 - saying, "No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning." Richard Petty won 200 NASCAR races, including the Daytona 500 seven times - his father Lee, was the winner of the first Daytona 500 race in 1959.

Eddie Collins (HOF) - Columbia University
 

Eddie Collins (HOF) entered Columbia University in 1903. Although just 5 foot 9 inches, he was quarterback and captain of the school football team, and the starting shortstop on the University baseball team for three years.

I would guess this is a class team photo. I did notice, a couple players also appear to be in a 1905 varsity team photo with Collins.

Although still in school, Eddie Collins joined a semi-pro team in the summer of 1906, playing under the name "Eddie Sullivan". The practice was not unusual among college players and he probably would have gotten away with it if his playing hadn't attracted the attention of the Philadelphia Athletics. They signed him to a contract and he actually got into six games before returning to Columbia for his senior year.

Once his professional playing was discovered, Collins was declared ineligible for his senior season. He was allowed to stay on as a coach while he completed his degree.

Eddie Collins is not shown here. I have a photo of him from the same period. He looks very similar to the Eddie Collins we know from the majors as a young adult, (as he of course should) none of these guys are even close. I'll attach the photo. I personally don't even think they are Columbia University, to me they look about 13-15 years old and none match the 1905 team photo in my eyes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Cool postcard. Can you post an image of its back?

Brush postcards (currently consigned to REA)

Currently at $11,500 bid. Wow

KiKi Cuyler (HOF) - Cabinet Photo
 

This is a cabinet photo, but thought it would be of interest on this thread.

Appears to be a young "KiKi" Cuyler (HOF) in the back row, second from the left. My research shows this ball team is the 1311 Elks of Willimantic, Connecticut. Cuyler was from Michigan, so not sure why he would be at this location - unless he had relatives nearby... I contacted the lodge but they had no information.

Cuyler's father had at one time, worked on the Great Lakes in the Life Saving Service, so there may be a connection to Connecticut through the Coast Guard

Thanks to a great board member, I have a couple new postcards. First, a Guy Lafluer pre rookie card which has a very low pop, and second a Brush Postcard with my favorite player of Ty Cobb.

The Brush is awesome! Congrats.

Similar views of 1930s Davenport, Iowa, and its multi-sport ballpark on the banks of the Mississippi. These days, the Davenport park hosts baseball alone and added protection from recurring high waters. Note it retains that squared-off left field edge, echoing the former football end zone.

Earle Combs (HOF) - Eastern Kentucky State Normal School
 

Earle Combs (HOF) - Postcard of the 1918 baseball team for the Eastern Kentucky State Normal School (today, it is Eastern Kentucky University). Combs originally intended to become a school teacher. He is in the back row at the far right.

In the Major Leagues, he accumulated a .325 lifetime batting average in 12 seasons with the fabled New York Yankees of Ruth and Gehrig. He was the leadoff hitter and played centerfield where he was succeeded by Joe DiMaggio.

Here are some super rare Underwood and Underwood postcards which I don’t think have ever been shown. Joe Wood and Matty!!

JC, these are the ones ending on Sunday in REA?

New arrival

Yes correct…. There is also the team card along with some rare foldout postcards. I’ve had them for a long time and realized they have never been shown in this popular thread.

Couple of new arrivals.

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

Jack Johnson & Bill Squires - 1907 Postcard
 

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.

Just to bring this great post card full circle:

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

one of two known (the other one has a corner):

Great card, Pete.

Buck Barker's notations...

Love that card Pete!!! It has pazaaaz!!

Nice Pete!

If anyone has a Josh Gibson PC I'd love to see. Not many out there.

This is a 1931 Harris RPPC of the 1931 "Colored Champions" Homestead Grays, including Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston, Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe, Smokey Joe Williams and Cum Posey.

Here is a Harrison RPPC of the 1932 Pittsburgh Crawfords, including Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige, Oscar Charleston and Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe.

Awesome PC Kevin.

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.

Hans Wagner and his Young Recruits. I have a thing for silly hats.

Joe McCarthy (HOF) w/ Jake Daubert - 1909 Toledo Mud Hens
 

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
