Something that was made after 1950 and most likely a lot more recently than that.

Here's something a little different and one-of-a-kind! A 1910 RPPC of the Equipe De Lacrosse National (Quebec) that includes Jeff Malone & Patrick "Paddy " Moran.

Paddy is the hall of fame goalie who played hockey for the Quebec Bulldogs NHA teams of the early 1900's. Jeff Malone is the brother of the more famous "Phantom" Joe Malone. There are so few printed images of Jeff, happy to land this one on ebay a few weeks ago!

Looking for this RPPC of the 1904 Montreal Royals. Yes, that's my man George Gibson 2nd from the right in the back row.


Let me know if you've seen one.

1950 Hornell Dodgers minor league team photo RPPC, with future big leaguers Don Zimmer and Charlie Neal. This was Zimmer's first stop in professional ball.

Kevin, here is a Pinterest photo that states it is of Ruth in Spring Training in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1915. It appears the structure in the background is the same as in your Hick Cady postcard.

Jim - thanks for input. I have actually seen that image before and, yes, it was taken at the same place and time as my Hick Cady postcard. I am just trying to substantiate how both were pinpointed to 1915. There are a couple of other RPPCs from the same "series" that exist as well.

Kevin and Jim I love the Hot Springs photos! I have mentioned before that these were taken at Majestic Field on the south end of the trolley line here in Hot Springs.

At the north end were Whittington Park (also called Ban Johnson Field) and Fogel Field. At the peak of Spring Training in 1911 there were eleven teams here plus over 100 other players.

Majestic Field is still a field sitting next to the Boys & Girls Club and the great part of the story is that house still sits atop the hill across the street. It is now painted white with bright red and blue trim.

Mike - I am not meaning to hijack this thread, but do you know anything about the tornado from June of 1916? Did it, in fact, destroy Majestic Field as this postcard suggests? If so, do you know how long it took to rebuild it?

1915 University of Nebraska fraternity team. I was able to identify the kid with the Ulysses uniform on just by searching for "Ulysses" in the online U of Nebraska yearbook repository. Charles Angell was his name.
