Coincidence
There is an article published July 15, 1906 in the Rockford Morning Star that identifies both Christy Mathewson and Willie Keeler of New York baseball teams as recipients of $10,000 a year salary. Keeler started receiving his in 1903. It would be quite a coincidence if two random dopplegangers of baseball greats posed for a novelty keepsake and these examples were discussed and compared over a hundred years later. Please let me know if you decide to part with your novelty keepsake. It should receive a place of honor within your already impressive collection. For the record, the Keeler caricature is holding a bat and it states "$10,000 a year" to the lower left of him. I will need to upload a full version later if there is any interest.

It appears to me to be a novelty postcard that is intended to make the subject appear as a "$10,000 ball player"
