Ty Cobb Postcard
Why is the contrast on Cobb so much different than the rest of the players?

Go figure.....
Beautiful postcard but of course out of every subject......the only one that is blemished is Cobb! Ugh!
So cool though! Wow! Mike |

Cool postcard. Not saying this applies to Cobb, but part of me thinks this is a composite....not sure how else to explain the floating head!

Also, if you follow the angle of the roof from the other direction, again, you can see it take a weird angle. I'm sure it sounds convoluted, but my wife convinced me that there is someone there...body and all!!!!!

Now that I look at it, I think maybe one or two others in the background were not present at the original photo and were added later. To be clear, I am not saying that the postcard did not originally look like this when issued (I have no idea). I am saying that in the process of creating the postcard, some faces were added by laying a negative on top of the original negative (or whatever people did before Photoshop).

Interesting, that's definitely possible too, but I've also seen a lot of team rppcs where they add a head of a missing player.
Regardless, great postcard, even with the pinhole should do well. |

Interesting Cobb is not wearing a hat. Why was there writing on the back that went over to the address side? No stamp? Looks like it was a message meant for someone else to read. Was that a fountain pen that was used?

Cobb....
As far as his cap, you know Cobb did whatever he wanted. Amazing that he was even there at spring training!
Writing appears to say: "Taken after the game Sunday I seen the game it was the rotness game you even seen Tigers did not try to play F Johnson " Perfect grammar! lol Like mine is any better! I mean it was spring training, doubt the Tigers cared at all! I'm mesmerized by that photo. Incredible really. I can't explain why. Just because!

Here's my first attempt at deciphering:
"Tacking (taken?) after the game Sunday I seen the game it was the rotenes (rotteness?) game you ever sen (seen?) Tigers did not try to play F Johnson"

Just checked and either someone with a feedback of (1) won the card, or it did not reach its reserve, or "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing".
