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):

Buck Barker's notations...

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.
