Great postcard....your H M Taylor card depicts Cobb with the identical
batting stance that my Dietsche shows. But, your's is really neat since
it is an actual photo with Detroit's old Bennett Field in the background.
It looks like Dietsche used this exact photo but decided to blank (black)
out the olde stadium.
So, since Richard's and my P/C's are not written on, do they qualify as a
collectible card, rather than a piece cardboard to send a message ?
Furthermore, those who would argue that P/C's were meant to only "send per-
sonal messages", and therefore, are not a real BB card....I offer this coun-
ter.....what are postage stamps? Are they not a collectible ?
I've collected stamps before I started collecting BB cards and you require a
stamp to "send a message". In 1847 someone used the George Washington and
Ben Franklin stamps in my United States collection, does anyone dare to tell me
that those are not their "Rookie " stamps ? ?
