Chicago Cubs West Side Grounds New Postcard

[GoCubs90094]

Anyone ever seen this postcard of Chicago Cubs' old West Side Grounds? I've seen about 10 different West Side Grounds postcards over the years, some in photo and some in graphic form, but never this one. Totally new to me. Anyone else?

What year is it? It looks more like Wrigley Field to me.

Probably around 1910. The upper deck wasn't extended past the left field foul pole until about then. This is definitely West Side Grounds. That park, like Wrigley, had buildings beyond the left field wall where people would sit on the roof to watch the games. It also had buildings beyond the right field wall, but by 1910 those were mostly blocked from seeing into the park by a giant scoreboard and billboard.

The other typical circa 1910 west side cards are 10 times more common then this one. I have had this one probably 4 or 5 times over the past 25 years. Typically around a $75 to $100 card when I have sold it or seen it for sale.

Appreciate the background info! What are the other rare West Side Grounds postcards? There are the few that pop up on ebay all the time. Anything else? These two, the two versions with the crowd on the field, the one from from behind home plate, one from left field and one from right field. All are graphics. Anything else?
