And Jeff P and others, pure candy to the eyes!!

and another somewhat generic rppc..

Nice Leon, I wouldn't classify that as generic, Reyes put out a really great looking postcard series of individual Chicago Cubs players too.

Would love to see some of the single players from this series. I can only imagine the breathtaking clarity. Here is one not as clear but with some cool content...and it's a double size postcard to boot...

Here are a few Reyes postcards Leon, enjoy!

[Louieman]

Don't know if I ever posted this one, but just in case...

[BeanTown]

Love a girl who doesn't mind to get a little dirty! If I had a time machine, I'd take her out and make those dimples come out! Great card!

Here's a 1920 Real Photo Postcard of an exhibiton game between the Chicago Cubs and the Kerrigan Tailors. Featured in this postcard are Presidential Candidate Warren Harding & Grover Alexander (fourth from left, hand on hip).

Postcards are ideal for a framed display.

Ya' can just hear the great one, with his low, deep voice uttering those words.

Congrats Jeff. Glad that you were able to pick both of them up. Those have always been two of my favorite postcards out there - especially the Baker. Great, great pose.

Thanks, each was tucked away in two different collections, my goal was to unite them. Took about 6 years

1950s RPPC:

[BeanTown]

I've seen the San Fran and the LA team. Never seen the Sacremento team before. Dingman made some great postcards back in the turn of the century!

[Exhibitman]

Here's a toughie: HOFer Jack Dillon's Bar:



Per cyberboxingzone.com:

Dillon was a tough, hard-hitting, aggressive attacker who moved well and possessed an abundance of stamina; He was considered by many to be a smaller version of Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champion; Dempsey, who had never seen Dillon fight, once asked "Who does he fight like" ? "You" was the reply. Charley Rose ranked him as the #2 All-Time Light Heavyweight; Nat Fleischer ranked him as the #3 All-Time Light Heavyweight; Dillon was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1959 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995

[Leon]

A few in the mail recently....the team is postmarked 1938..and am guessing the other is around 20-30 yrs earlier...

[BeanTown]

Anyone familiar with this postcard? It might just be the only Polo Grounds postcard from this era I haven't got and I cannot find it anywhere. Any ideas?:

[slidekellyslide]

Andrew, here is a link to a similar version of the same postcard without the added airplane.

http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedi...dium-152379776

For those without a worthpoint subscription the card sold for $125.

Thanks, Dan! Wow, not sure I've seen that one either. Cool .

[MikeGarcia]

...postmarked 1911...

[Jobu]

This is my first RPPC. I love the action pose, the wide-open scene, the old car in the background, everything about it.

Two questions for the experts: 1) Any idea of the date? 2) Does anyone know what kind of car that is?

Thanks in advance.

[WillowGrove]

Bryan, according to a postcard website that stamp area that says 'azo' with 4 triangles dates from 1904-1918. The split back typically means after 1909 (I believe) and the catcher's mitt looks 1909+ too. The car seems like 1915 but I'm just using my instincts there.

I'd say your card is 1914-16. But it could be 1910+ too.

Hope this info somehow helps.

Looks like a Model T Ford.

Here are a couple of postcards I just received:

• C. 1910 Case Motor Cars Postcard with Barney Oldfield & Joe Tinker
• 1936 RDM Studio Real Photo Postcard of Joe Cronin (Minty Fresh Condition!)

[Jobu]

Thanks to Peter and Herb, much appreciated! Model T came to mind but I don't think this one quite matches, there is a spare tire and a few other things that don't look quite right.

I looked up old, 1900 cars but this is the best I could do.
This may be it but the roof is down so it is hard to tell.

You might have to take this one to an automotive museum, Bryan?

[BeanTown]

Worch Cigars.. Never owned one until I read a thread about them in here which I think Tim started.

[BeanTown]

A little off thread here, but after looking at Jeff's and Bryan's cool postcards with Automobiles in them I thought this would be cool as well. It's the only News Service Photo I've ever bought but it just looked cool. To keep on topic here I would love to find a postcard with the same image and I would pay "market price" and then some for it! ��

[Leon]

cool photo...

and another RPPC picked up today...
