The catcher's glove shown - that pillow style mitt was first developed by JF Draper in 1899 and used up until the 1920s. The guy at the bottom right appears to have a 1910-15 Reach baseman's mitt

The pants don't appear to be quilted

I don't see any "notable" players from this Athletic Club

As indicated by the AZO marking, I would guess the RPPC was from around 1910

WOW on the information you know. That is amazing

It is a Great piece with sharp details in the picture

I�ve always had questions about these unidentifiable RPPC�s
No not the question you think. I�ve never seen 2 of the same team.
How many were printed? Just a handful for the players? Minimum run of
50? Anyone seen 2 the same?

RPPCs are simply photos printed on postcard stock. It was readily available for anyone to print their photos on postcard stock. The vast majority of RPPCs you find were not meant for wider distribution or sale, and they are simply snapshots printed as postcards. The minimum run would be one or two prints. The general public could make a real photo postcard for any picture they took. In the case of this RPPC, it may have simply been a picture taken by a family member and printed only once or a couple times.
