I'm lacking in the team card category. Best I can do are a couple of Burke stamped photo post cards. Also am posting a NYT rotogravure of the 1914 Giants, from the August 16 Sunday paper. On the day before the Giants had dropped their third straight to Boston , shrinking their lead to 3-1/2 games over the Braves who were in the cellar in July and who would go on to finish 10-1/2 games out in front. (In the corner is Charles Schultz's famous Peanuts cartoon: "Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?" And why couldn't Merkle have touched second?)
