Leon-Thanks for sharing the Zeenut pc once again--great image.
I have many postcards in my collection, and this one is unique. It was a different era in 1907, and I also keep in mind Jerry Seinfeld's comment, "But, that's okay." Cheers, Mike |

Found this one in an old school here in Buffalo. I grew up just around the corner from the stadium. This post card brought many memories.

Wow, those are some awesome postcards everyone !!
Tony- I love that last PC you posted, the view of the ballpark with the kids climbing the fence to see the game !! Where is that? Sincerely, Clayton |
Hi Clayton. Good to hear from you buddy. Not sure of whom the teams are, but it's a 1911 ball game being played at the Ohio/Pennsylvania League ball field in Liverpool Ohio.
Postally stamped on the reverse. That's all I really know about the piece. It's by far one of the most amazing shots I've seen on an rppc. |

What kind of PC is that Kahl, Rob? I'm not sure I've ever seen that one before.

The Kahl has an interesting history. I bought it from Lew Lipset, who bought it from Charles Bray. The thing that throws me about this one is his uniform. Scroll up in this thread, and you'll see Jeff's team composite from the series. All of the players are wearing dark jerseys with with either a "C" or "Cleveland" on the front. Yet Kahl's uniform is white. According to baseballreference.com, Kahl made his debut May 2, 1905, and his final game was Aug. 2 in that, his only major-league season. So it's not like he was a late-season addition. |
My kind of thread! Some great items posted so far. Here is a mixed bag of postcards from my shoebox.
". . Take me out with the crowd!" Recent eBay pickup. San Francisco Rec Park. Home of the Seals until 1931 or thenabouts. Another collector has this card with a 1911 postmark; mine is unused. http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...20Ballgame.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...0Park%20pc.jpg Couple of ballplayers. http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...0Wagner_13.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...ge/DMcD550.jpg Couple more. http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...c%20Brown1.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...Eller%20pc.jpg Mahalo nui loa to Frank Ward for this Red Belt variation which island-hopped to Oahu a few days ago. Howard Ehmke is depicted with Syracuse in 1916 prior to a long career in the Bigs. http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...d%20bkgrd_.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...mke%20pc_1.jpg Showed the Senators postcard a month or two back. It's date was ascertained to be 1918. I have always loved this Sportsman Park postcard, a neighbourhood ballyard, a fantasy setting. http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...20Senators.jpg http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...ans%20Park.jpg |

Thanks Jeff,
I bought it at the Philly show a few shows back and the dealer told me he knew of only two, the one I bought and one that was in a museum in Detroit. I'm sure there are more, but I haven't seen another. BTW, I was an underbidder on your Tigers Amer. Pub PC and the Cincy PC with Mathewson. When are you gonna let me win one?:D Mike |

I have never seen the two on the right (with condition problems) before, and I know nothing about them. I would appreciate any info anyone can provide.
Thanks in advance, Val |
Val:
Very nice items! The two on the right are likely 1-of-a-kind real photo postcards with the far right dating to 1907-1918 based on the stamp box on the back and the other one based on the photo looks like early 1920's. |

1908 Univ. of Tenn PC with dog mascot and a player with the name F. Baker who actually looks like Eddie Plank(Center Row-Center Player) :)

Val: I copied this scan from one of the recent auctions (can't remember which one). If memory serves, 'tho it don't serve too well, it was a near life-size portrait that was on display in Griffith Stadium (or RFK? or ??). Maybe someone else can get my story straight. Great image, eh?
I've always liked the Johnson and Street photo, and your colorized version is a beaut, but at the risk of offending the PC contingent and setting loose the Seinfeld quoters, it always struck my inner dinosaur as a tad gay. This is a bloody great thread. Way too many mouth-watering beauties to single out one or another. http://photos.imageevent.com/kawika_...aJo%20foto.jpg |
|
Val, great postcards. This might help a little. Same photo but different piece than the one David posted.
http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...px?lotid=83586 |
Phil, David, and Clint,
Many thanks for your kind words and very helpful info re my WaJo PCs. This info helped my very pathetic, Alzheimers-like memory recall the huge photo that David is referring to, which appeared in Legendary's November auction - ref. lot#1258, http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...x?lotid=114775 - and which sold for $8,295. I acquired my same-image PC in a trade about a year ago, and it has been in my safe deposit box ever since (this is the best excuse I can offer for not recognizing the image as being the same!).
Best, Val |

Wish I knew what was written on the back of these... I have tried to research A.R. Smith to no avail. Still cool postcards though.

Great Thread!
Love these postcard threads. Don't have much to offer but here's a McGraw that I thought was Keeler until I put it on this board a while back:
http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/IMG_0032.jpg Here's our media guide from my senior year. We finished third at the NAIA World Series in Sioux City after defeating D1 Auburn when they were #1 during the regular season. We also defeated Miss State when they were top 25, D-2 #1 Delta State, NAIA #1 Dallas, NAIA #1 Bellevue, etc. Our head coach, Brian Shoop, formerly coached under Miss State's Ron Polk when Will Clark, Palmeiro, and Thigpen were there. After I graduated, Southern continued to win and finally won the World Series. They moved to NCAA D-1 but hired a new president who wanted football, so they switched to D-3. Coach Shoop moved to UAB where he remains, and Shoop's assistant is Coach Polk! Great men, both of them. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...diaguide-1.jpg |
Utterly cool media guide cover!
|
Thanks David!
