David,

Maybe I'm going nuts, or getting old (probably both ), but I "think" this postcard has been analyzed on net54 before. I kind of remember someone figuring out the actual day (or at least series) the game was played based on score board.

If not, here goes:

Baltimore
Montreal
Newark
Toronto
Providence
Buffalo
Jersey City

Some GREAT items here.

Fun stuff, Scott
