Great PC Joe!

Cool, I'll take it for free.

Muchas gracias Jeffe:rolleyes:

1915 Nebraska Cornhuskers Fraternity baseball team Alpha Sigma Phi
 

Captioned "Alpha Sigma Phi Base Ball Team" and mailed from Lincoln Nebraska in 1915. Guess there aren't any future major leaguers ( Cornhusker Major Leaguers ).
Back is printed upside down, so I left it that way in the photo. ;-) Pretty common with real photo printed postcards from this era.

That is awesome!

let's revive this thread...

Ruth Barnstorming Tour in Dunsmuir, CA. (October 22, 1924)

Wow Jeff!

Greg

That Ruth Image is amazing!

Whoohee Jeff
That is a fantastic shot of the Babe!
Instantly one of my favorites.
Are you sure though it wasn't produced in the 70's? ;)

Great PC Jeff

Thread revival
 

Thanks for reviving the thread Jeff. Congrats on the great Ruth PC! I'll pitch in too.

Love the Pebble Beach Clothiers DiMaggio postcard!

Nice postcards

+1
Great pic of the clipper

Great postcard Dave!

Those last 2 postcards are phenomenal. The RPPC of Ruth in the game is one of my faves I have seen. Very cool.

Holy smokes! Great DiMaggio! I'm not sure if I had ever seen one before...although I've known about its existence for years...

Ruth and Gehrig and Joe
 

The Ruth and Gehrig was snapped on August 27, 1927 at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. The New York Yankees defeated the St. Louis Browns 14-4 with Ruth, Bob Meusel, and Earle Combs hitting home runs for the Bronx Bombers before 7,500 disappointed Browns fans.

The DiMaggio, one of his scarcest postcard issues, was issued by Gillette Safety Razor of Mexico.

For more early postcards visit http://www.sportingoregon.com. Always buying!

White Sox at Sacto
 

Thanks guys. Here's another fun one.

My Gillette Safety Razor
 

SPORTINGOREGON

I have yet in 20 years to finally see another Gillette Safety Razor of Mexico postcard. I have a Ted Williams from the same company, a similar issue, the only I have seen until this afternoon. The DiMaggio is awesome, and would make a MAGNIFICENT set with my Williams.

The Pebble Beach DiMaggio is also AMAZING!

Wagner and possible Waner

1913 World Tour advertising postcard
 

Probably not many of these around. It rained so much that day that Giants outfielder Sherry Magee made a one-handed catch while holding an umbrella over his head with the other hand. The Giants won 3-0 in a game called at the end of the sixth inning. Tickets cost $2 apiece. For more visit http://www.sportingoregon.com - always buying!

Definitely a Waner.

yessir

Yeah, but which one?

Sweet basketball shoes on Wags!

A generic 1912 postcard with nice clarity...

Here'a a fine 1912 Boston Red Sox RPPC (Joe Wood is holding his daughter in the back row, also includes Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper). Also picked up a 1948 Indians Team Issue postcard of Larry Doby.

actually...
 

That's Joe wood's sister.

Seriously.

Robert S

Thanks!

Incredible Red Sox postcard Jeff!

Keeping with the '12 Red Sox theme, I just got this 1912 Boston American Series PC of Tris Speaker in the mail today.

One more, just back from Beckett today.

Edit: Any info anyone has on this PC would be appreciated as well. Photo looks like an un-cropped version of the FP Burke postcard. The postcard is oversized and has an undivided back. Only seen one other example. Thanks!!

Would SGC not grade it?

I don't grade with SGC so wouldn't know. Is there some history with this card that I don't know about, or you just wondering why I grade with Beckett?

Was wondering if SGC had an opinion about it.

Looks legit to me from the scan, the only other I have seen was cropped slightly off if I recall correctly.

great Speaker - I was the underbidder on that bad-boy...looks awesome! Just pay no attention to the back :D

Speaker was a steal. I was bidding but my WiFi screwed up. I like the back.

Yeah it's a strange postcard. First of all it's oversized. The back calls it a "mailing card". And the stamp box says "POSTAGE If Writing 2 Cents Without Writing 1 Cent". I've never seen another stamp box that determines postage based on writing (although I've not been collecting postcards very long)

Here's a link to the only other example I've seen. Unfortunately not a lot of info in the description like who made it. http://www.legendaryauctions.com/mob...d-and-jennings.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with the price on the Speaker, was actually prepared to go quite a bit higher. Yeah the back is marked up pretty good, but I was just happy to get a Speaker postcard. Seems like he doesn't have a lot out there for whatever reason.

Weiser Wonder
 

...with 1910 postmark.

Wow, that Weiser Wonder postcard is something else!

Wow!

Damn!! Nice Weiser Wonder PC! Very high on my want-list for sure! Congrats!

That Weiser Wonder postcard.......in awe

Wish I could match the fabulous Weiser Wonder PC! Here's a couple more WaJo PCs that I have showed in the past in some thread or another, but wanted to get included in this all-time great thread:

I like your Johnsons..... and I feel pretty comfortable saying that!

Already put this on Sep. pickups, but thought it would fit here too!

Royal Gorge, awesome shot.

Cobb buys insurance
 

Roy Corhan had a few cups of coffee in the big leagues with the White Sox and Cardinals, and was a mainstay for the PCL SF Seals from 1912-1920, appearing on Zeenuts most of those years. He umpired after his playing career, and also sold insurance.

Here he is "signing up" Ty Cobb in front of the "booze cage" at Rec Park in SF.

Coffee, candy and booze. Who knew insurance was so exciting?

Very nice! Have not seen that Cobb before.

1911 Philadelphia Athletics panoramic postcard
 

I recently acquired this 3.5 x 11 bi-fold panoramic postcard of the 1911 Philadelphia Athletics. I have never seen this postcard before, has anyone else? Any help identifying it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Who says ebay has nothing to offer! Here's a few postcards I picked up a couple of weeks ago:

• 1906 Suhling & Koehn Publishing Chicago White Sox Postcard
• 1911 E.F Sehring Hughie Jennings Auto Accident Postcard
• 1912 John Wesley Coombs "Coombs Day" Postcard

nice pick-ups, Jeff - I especially like "Coombs Day".
first time I've seen that one.

New Additions
 

I picked up a large postcard collection recently. Here's a couple highlights:

Huntington Ave Grounds

Southend Grounds

Polo Grounds after 1911 fire

TW on a vintage Burke postcard

Venice (PCL) vs White Sox @ Venice

Pickups
 

Highlights indeed, Jim. Great cards, one and all.

C.1930 RPPC Babe Ruth
 

Could not hit the BIN fast enough on this one!

Nice pick-up Jeff!!

1914 Walter Johnson postcard
 

One of Walter Johnson's rarest postcards.

Always buying!

Here's my winnings from the latest B&L Auction, a C.1911 U.S. Publishing House Rube Marquard signed postcard. Thanks for a great auction Leon!

Here are a couple I recently acquired.

Fantastic! What's the story behind it?

Thanks Adam, I sent you a PM.

Here's another fine postcard I picked up from Derek on the BST. It's a 1912 Superior Team RPPC with Dazzy Vance. Thanks again!

Hey, that looks familiar! :) Love that card.

Yeah - I took a hit on that one (Jeff caught me on a good day), but I am trying to slowly get myself down to one card/postcard/photo of each HOFer, and I thought three team postcards + a Zeenut of Vance was a little excessive! Still looking to move the Zeenut if anyone is interested! :p

Love this image

Attachment 166311

Yeah, no need to hoard. :D

Sounds like a good plan, Derek. I was wondering when you would need the money from all of your "dups" in order to continue funding the "set".

One of my favorites. 1910s view of Ocean Park, Lynn Massachusetts. New England League Ballpark located right on the beach, note the beach and ocean just over the fence. Also the Bull Durham Bull making an appearance in left. Apparently grass doesn't grow very well at the beach!

Here's a fine 1907 Raymond Kahn Company Cleveland Naps Team Postcard
that includes Napoleon Lajoie & Addie Joss!
