1908 World Series as told by Cobb and Brown postcards; dirty backs are way more fun!

TOTALLY agree about DIRTY vs CLEAN PCs! Although I do NOT have one to share!

There is NOTHING like vintage postcards with vintage writing, stamps, etc. MOST messages are rather mundane, however, when you get one (or two!) with GREAT content as yours - they are incredible!

Wonder what the writer would have thought if he knew that 107 years later he would still be waiting for them to win another?

A gallery on my website displays some of the things in my collection on this topic. It spans 1903 through 1919. http://www.sportingoregon.com/p902264268 . When you're done in that gallery you can find more by clicking "Visit the Photo Galleries" in the upper left of that page.

I enjoy reading old postcards especially if it is baseball related. While I was looking at these 2 I noticed that the first one was sent to an address that is about 3 blocks from where I work. I don't know why but I took a picture of the place and am posting it. It just seems kind of weird that over a hundred years ago a card was sent to this house, ended up several states away and then ends here where I see it.

I have a baseball postcard that was written to my grandmother from my grandfather while they were dating. I will try to find it and post it later. First I have to toss back a few cold ones and watch OSU kick some Wolverine ass!

Thanks for posting Rich, very nice, the odds of that coincidence coming to pass was roughly the odds of Cubs not winning a World Series in over a hundred years.
