FWIW, as far as the RPPC itself, all looks correct for it being an original produced by George Burke. Quite a bit tougher to find them in the 3-1/2"x5-1/2" size with pre-printed postcard back than his usual 4"x6" size. (The opposite is true for his successor, George Brace, who produced RPPC's in abundance).

Thanks for the info.

I have no idea what size this is actually. I saw another one on eBay that the crop looks a bit different but that really means nothing on overall size. I just knew it was a Burke on an AZO 1926-40's RPPC. Just thought it was cool and figured it was from his playing days. As for the signature I have no idea if its real as it looks totally different than most of the signatures I've seen from him.

Nate, how many bats do you have? Are you a hoarder?

Bats are addicting (or addictive?). I purchased my first vintage one and before I knew it, there were ten leaning against the wall in the corner. Then there were fifteen. Then I sold all but one to protect myself.

(In that last sentence there should be a comma after "one", but I liked the accidental double entendra.)

I have close to 800 bats, and you better believe it's an addiction! At least they're mostly vintage.

I don't even consider myself a bat collector and I have accumulated about 50 of them. Most are game used from the local minor league team 1947-present.
